I have a very high pain threshold and a very low fear threshold. I always look for the hardest way to do the easiest thing. If you don't grow, you go. If you don't hear what you need to hear, say what you need to hear. Then your time on earth will be filled with glory.
Nothing contributes more to peace of soul than having no opinion at all.
We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world. Fear is a darkroom for developing negatives. I would rather be able to appreciate things I can not have than to have things I am not able to appreciate. A smooth sea never made a skillful sailor. When you starve with a tiger, the tiger starves last.
