We have two ears and one tongue so that we would listen more and talk less.

He has the most who is most content with the least.

No man is hurt but by himself. ...Literally by how he interprets what happens to him. If he focusses on how it could have been better, he will be hurt. If he focusses on how it could have been worse, he will be happy. The same is true for women too.
