Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.
Even more exasperating than the guy who thinks he knows it all is the one who really does.
Happiness is different from pleasure. Happiness has something to do with struggling and enduring and accomplishing.
Treat a person as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat him as he could be, and he will become what he should be.
Have a good May and June.
