Oliver Wendell Holmes :
If I had a formula for bypassing trouble, I would not pass it around. Trouble creates a capacity to handle it. I don't embrace trouble; that's as bad as treating it as an enemy. But I do say: meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it, and had better be on speaking terms with it.
#
Trouble
#
Friends and Friendship
#
Enemies
Gift it
