Troubles

Life appears to me too short to be spent in nursing animosity, or registering wrongs

Parents wonder why the streams are bitter, when they themselves have poisoned the fountain

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.
