“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived, and lived well." Ralph Waldo Emerson

“"Aut inveniam viam aut faciam"  (I shall either find a way or I shall make one” - Hannibal

“It is a little embarrassing that, after forty-five years of research and study, the best advice I can give to people is to be a little kinder to each other.” - Aldus Huxley

“Pray and move your feet.” - The Universe

“A farmer and his son had a beloved horse who helped the family earn a living. One day, the horse ran away and their neighbors exclaimed:

Neighbor: “Your horse ran away, what terrible luck!”

The farmer replied: “Maybe so, maybe not.” A few days later, the horse returned home, leading a few wild horses back to the farm as well.

The neighbors shouted out: “Your horse has returned, and brought several horses home with him. What great luck!”

The farmer replied: “Maybe so, maybe not.” Later that week, the farmer’s son was trying to break one of the horses and she threw him to the ground, breaking his leg.

The neighbors replied: “Your son broke his leg, what terrible luck!”

The farmer replied: “Maybe so, maybe not.” A few weeks later, soldiers from the national army marched through town, recruiting all boys for the army. They did not take the farmer’s son, because he had a broken leg.

The neighbors shouted: “Your boy is spared, what tremendous luck!

To which the farmer replied, “Maybe so, maybe not. We’ll see.” Whenever something happens to you can you tell if it is good or bad?” 

The Story of a Chinese Farmer is a classic Chinese proverb that showcases we never know whether an event is good or bad and what fortunes or misfortunes an event can bring us. It also is a great way to showcase that there is no easy way to answer this question.
