Quote

LIFE is a mosaic of pleasure and pain - grief is an interval between two moments of joy. Peace is the interlude between two wars. You have no rose without a thorn the diligent picker will avoid the pricks and gather the flower. There is no bee without the sting cleverness consists in gathering the honey nevertheless.
