Accept that somedays you're the pigeon, and somedays you're the statue. Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience. Needing someone is like needing a parachute. If he isn't there the first time you need him, chances are you won't be needing him again.
Experience is a hard teacher.
It gives the test first, the lesson afterward. You will never get ahead of others as long as you're trying to get even with them. If you don't think everyday is a good day, just trying missing one. A fairweather friend is always there when he needs you. You can't hold a man down sithout staying down with him.
