“Some people as a result of adversity are sadder, wiser, kinder, more human. Most of us are better, though, when things go better.

Often times, most times, he's describing his own, revealing himself.” PeopleMenHumansImportantResultsKnowingMouthsAdversityFaultsOpeningWiserRight TimeRevealingDescribingKinder Author:Malcolm Forbes
