Make the best use of what is in your power, and take the rest as it happens. – Epictetus

We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies. – Martin Luther King, Jr.

You dont despair about something like the Middle East, you just do the best you can. – P. J. ORourke
