"The real man smiles in trouble,

gathers strength from distress,

and grows brave by reflection."

Thomas Paine - Author

Today I needed a moment of quiet reflection

and

found it here!

*********

By three methods we may learn wisdom:

First, by reflection, which is noblest;

Second, by imitation, which is easiest;

and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
Confucius
