Do not measure your loss by itself; if you do, it will seem intolerable; but if you will take all human affairs into account you will find that some comfort is to be derived from them.

Saint Basil quotes
Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away the hunger.
Do not measure your loss by itself; if you do, it will seem intolerable; but if you will take all human affairs into account you will find that some comfort is to be derived from them.
Not the power to remember, but its very opposite, the power to forget, is a necessary condition for our existence.
