Heheh looks like we have a similar outlook in a way. Here's another one that conveys the same sentiment, in a less elegant way IMO:
"Life is a grindstone; whether it grinds you down or polishes you up depends on what you're made of."

weak?! i never feel weak. I AM TEH INVINCIBLE!!
ya or not.
when things arent going as planned you just have to realize that:
unless you are about to die(which just sucks all around)
you are gonna get through it and usually learn something from it, so just suck it up and be a man/woman about it.
btw this never actually helps when youre in a situation, but it sounds nice when you say it after everything is peachy again :wtf: |

i dunno where i saw this (either on TA or the hub), but i really like this one:
"life's a bitch, it's all you can do to grab her and ride her for all she's worth" |
