"Things that happen, however painful they are at the time, do not matter very much for long. Only how we behave to them matters."

Previous Quote

Acting a part is not always synonymous with lying; it is far often the best way of serving the truth. It is more truthful to act what we should feel if the community is to be well served rather than behave as we actually do feel in our selfish private feelings.
