“I like rain and mist. I've never understood why people exclaim over bright skies and bushels of glaring sunshine.”

“I've never understood why people run to get out of the rain in the summertime... People will drive miles and miles to go jump in a cool swimming hole, but when it rains, they scatter.”

“I've never understood why people said 'in your own words.' Who else's words would I use?”

“I've never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It's probably because they have forgotten their own.”

“You accept that people are the way they are. There's nothing you can do about it, exceptlearn ways to minimize the damage they can do to you. It's like rain. We don't feel a need to forgivethe sky for raining on a day when we really wanted sunshine, do we? No. We might be upset anddisappointed, but the need to forgive never enters our mind.”

“One grateful thought is a ray of sunshine.  A hundred such thoughts paint a sunrise.  A thousand will rival the glaring sky at noonday - for gratitude is light against the darkness.”
