There may be days when so many things seem to go wrong, that I despair of them ever going right long enough to have true happiness. The more often I berate someone or frown at them, the less likely they are to feel good in my presence.
Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold.
For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will be powerless to vex your mind.
