Meditations Book Two, Number 1

by V. L. Craven
Philosophy,Quotes.
Begin each day by telling yourself: Today I shall be meeting with interference, insolence, disloyalty, ill-will, and selfishness-all of them due to the offenders’ ignorance of what is good or evil.

I truly enjoy this one. In other words: People are insensitive idiots. But they don’t know any better.

What can I say-I admire diplomatic speech but I’ve never excelled at it myself.
