SO GOOD QUOTES

* Do not require others to be ideal, but accept them as they are, not as they ought to be.

We accept nature as it is: the seasons whether rainy, stormy or hot, we do not ask nature to change itself. Let us do the same with the others. Not all of them are righteous and good. So many have weaknesses or certain dominating temperament. People are of different types, some of which are troublesome. So, be like a spectator, not influenced by their behavior, and treat them wisely according to their nature.

—H.H. Pope Shenouda III, Fruits of the Spirit
