Here’s another top 10 list…this time, on the topic of trouble. I could easily add about 100 more!
1) If you would not have affliction visit you twice, listen at once to what it teaches. -James Burgh
2) Never complain about your troubles; they are responsible for more than half of your income. -Robert R. Updegraff
3) I have had a long, long life full of troubles, but there is one curious fact about them—nine-tenths of them never happened. -Andrew Carnegie
4) Temper is what gets most of us into trouble. Pride is what keeps us there. -Mark Twain
5) Most troubles arise from loafing when we should be working or talking when we should be listening. -Arnold Glasow
6) We are always in the forge, or on the anvil; by trials God is shaping us for higher things. -Henry Ward Beecher
7) Trouble will come soon enough, and when he does come receive him as pleasantly as possible. Like the tax collector, he is a disagreeable chap to have in one’s house, but the more amiably you greet him the sooner he will go away. -Artemus Ward
8. The true way of softening one’s troubles is to solace those of others. -Mad. de Maintenon
9) Trouble is the next best thing to enjoyment; there is no fate in the world so horrible as to have no share in either its joys or sorrows. -Longfellow
