How people think, relate and react to their circumstances, not what the circumstances are, is what determines their realities.

Great knowledge, if it be without vanity, is the most sever bridle of the tongue... Every beam of reason and ray of knowledge checks the dissolution of the tongue.
Truth is not always the best basis for happiness... There are people who perish when their eyes are open.
Usually people are not envious of someone’s virtues, but of the honor the person receives for his virtues.
Brooks Atkinson, fully Justin Brooks Atkinson
In every age 'the good old days' were a myth. No one every thought they were good at the time. For every age has consisted of crises that seemed intolerable to the people who lived through them.
