The more humble a man is before God the more he will be exalted; the more humble he is before man, the more he will get rode roughshod. – Josh Billings
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain…. [A]ccept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over your fields…. – Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
