When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.

It is the absence of facts that frightens people: the gap you open, into which they pour their fears, fantasies, desires.

All who joy would win must share it. Happiness was born a twin.

处理难以处理的事，越是需要舒缓；对待难以对待的人，越是需要宽厚；处置非常紧急的事情，越是需要从容；处置至关重大的事情，越是需要镇定；处于遭到猜疑妒忌的艰难境地，越是需要胸中坦然，心无牵系。
