People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but that doesn't stop you from having your own opinion.
And you can always, always, give kindness
I want friends, not admirers. People who respect me for my character and my deeds, not my flattering smile. The circle around me would be much smaller, but what does that matter, as long as they're sincere?
What's done can't be undone, but at least you can keep it from happening again.
When I write I can shake off all my cares. My sorrow disappears, my spirits are revived.
No one has ever become poor by giving.
