There are days when I wish I could I just run away to
somewhere that I could be alone, have endless privacy and not have to deal with
people who drive me absolutely nuts. I’m
going to take a wild guess and assume that, that wish will never come true.
Life isn’t easy and some days it feels like it just wants to remind me of that
over and over and over again. I know I’m
not an easy person to get along with, but some of the people I have to deal
with are impossible. I’m not sure how
they even function. In a moment of
frustration I came across these quotes that are all about having to deal with
people that we would rather not have to deal with.
A man's own good
breeding is the best security against other people's ill manners.
Lord Chesterfield

To rejoice in
another's prosperity, is to give content to your own lot: to mitigate another's
grief, is to alleviate or dispel your own.

We are far more

Be courteous to all,
but intimate with few;
and let those be well-tried before you give them your confidence.

Look to be treated by
others
as you have treated others.

Success in life, in
anything,
depends upon the number of persons
that one can make himself agreeable to.

Never part without
loving words to think of during your absence. It may be that you will not meet
again in this life.
