A small trouble is like a pebble. Hold it too close to your eye
and it fills the whole world and puts everything out of focus. Hold it at a
proper distance and it can be examined and properly classified. Throw it at your
feet and it can be seen in its true setting, just one more tiny bump on the
pathway to life.   - Celia  Luce

In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity.     
-- Albert Einstein

Praise and blame, gain and loss,
pleasure and sorrow come and go like the wind.
To be  happy, rest like a  giant tree in the midst of them all.  - Buddha
