"The harder of the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What
we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather
strength from distress and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of
little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and his conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death." -Thomas Paine
“To say the right thing at the right time, keep still most of the time.” John W. Roper Those who get in trouble most often are those cannot seem to keep still, remain silent. Life teaches many lessons. Among the best lessons of life is one my father taught me at an early age was, “If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing.” The contributions we make to life via our mouth are many and varied. Most of the time, I reckon, they are not contributions at all, but things that diminish the richness of life.
