When we see ourselves in a situation which must be endured and gone through, it is best to meet it with firmness, and accommodate everything to it in the best way practicable. This lessens the evil, while fretting and fuming only increase your own torments.

  • -- Thomas Jefferson 托马斯·杰斐逊

当我们看到自己处于一个必须忍受和经历的境地时,最好是坚定地面对它,并以切实可行的最佳方式适应它。这减少了罪恶,而烦恼和愤怒只会增加你自己的痛苦。
