People who think their life is harder than other people don’t get it. Life is hard for everyone. Complaining makes it only harder.

The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases.

Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. Instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy.

Everybody has a right to their own troubles.

Surely every one realizes, at some point along the way, that he is capable of living a far better life than the one he has chosen.

Haven't you learned anything, not even with the approach of death? Stop thinking all the time that you're in the way, that you're bothering the person next to you. If people don't like it, they can complain. And if they don't have the courage to complain, that's their problem

A thankful person is thankful under all circumstances. A Complaining soul complains even while living in paradise.

I ask: which of the two, civil or natural life, is more likely to become insufferable to those who live it? We see about us practically no people who do not complain about their existence; many even deprive themselves of it to the extent they are able, and the combination of divine and human laws is hardly enough to stop this disorder. I ask: has anyone ever heard of a savage man who was living in liberty ever dreaming of complaining about his life and of killing himself?

Before you complain about school, remember that some people can’t even get an education. Before you complain about getting fat, remember that some people don’t even have any food. Before you complain about your job, remember that some people don’t even have any money. Before you complain about cleaning the house, remember that some people don’t even have any shelter. Before you complain about washing the dishes, remember that some people don’t even have any water.

I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way.

Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining - it bores everybody else, does you no good, and doesn't solve any problems.

There is a little good in the worst of us and a little bad in the best of us and it ill behoves any of us to criticize the rest of us.

The person who can freely acknowledge that life is full of difficulties can be free, because they are acknowledging the nature of life - that it can't be much else.

Man needs difficulties in life because they are necessary to enjoy the success.
