eaglebear29 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 8 hours ago, SirVantes said: Surely you don't mean that? "Everyone's a stoic, until they get punched in the face." - Anonymous “The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.” - Terry Pratchett It's he who remains calm while getting punched in the face and doesn't succumb to emotion like the one who has struck you. The best revenge is to be unlike him who preformed the injury, to let it go. Doesn't mean stand there and take it, just be clear headed. Sometimes you get punched in the face in all forms of life, or literally, it's how you respond to it that makes you. You can remain calm and “embrace the suck” and ride out the storm and fight on. "Everyone has a plan 'til they get punched in the mouth." -Mike Tyson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Li Bai Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 You might have come across this quote from George Sand : It's very popular among cigar smokers on Instagram, it promotes a lifestyle lots of influencers try to sell but do you know the complete quote ? Here it is: "The cigar is the perfect complement to an elegant AND IDLE lifestyle." Sounds a bit different doesn't it ? 😉 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
