“Complaints drain joy.”
“As selfishness and complaint pervert and cloud the mind, so sex with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.”
“Taking responsibility takes all the joy out of life, and drains a man to dust.”
“I received no praise for the rescue of this girl, only criticism for "moving the troops about and stirring up the people" and wasting the radio station's time and money. I was shaken by these complaints. A young girl had been in danger and yet going to her rescue was seen as "exhausting the people and draining the treasury". Just what was a woman's life worth in China?”
“This life is not for complaint, but for satisfaction.”
“Art is either a complaint or appeasement.”
