Things cannot always go your way. Learn to accept in silence the minor aggravations, cultivate the gift of taciturnity and consume your own smoke with an extra draught of hard work, so that those about you may not be annoyed with the dust and soot of your complaints.
Sir William Osler
1849-1919
Quoted in Harvy Cushing's The Life of Sir William Osler [1925], Volume 1, Chapter 22
