Reasoning against a prejudice is like fighting against a shadow;
it exhausts the reasoner, without visibly affecting the prejudice
Among well-bred people a mutual deference is affected, contempt
for others is disguised; authority concealed; attention given
to each in his turn; and an easy stream of conversation maintained
without vehemence, without interruption, without eagerness.
I can try to accept gracefully all things that affect my life.
I can think and act, not react, I can study and learn. I listen.
If you can rest your head at your pillow and sleep well without
regrets you are living a good life...
