Nil Admirari, be astonished by nothing
Snow flakes cover blossoms of the crabapple and redbud tree in late April. Be astonished by nothing is Horace's sermon, borrowed from the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, preached by Pythagoras and Seneca. The dictum teaches several lessons: what can happen will happen, don't be seduced, bamboozled or surprised.
