Alexander McCall Smith Quotes

[...]perhaps The Secret Of Leading A Life In Which You Would Not Always Be Worrying About Things, Or Complaining About Them, Was To Accept That There Were People Who Just Saw Things Differently From You And Always Would. Once You Understood That, Then You Could Accept The People Themselves As They Were And Not Try To Change Them. What Was Even More Important, Perhaps, Was That You Could Love Those People Who Looked At Things So Differently, Because You Realised That They Were Not Trying To Make Life Hard For You By Being What They Were, But Were Simply Doing Their Best. Then, When You Started To Love Them, Love Would Do The Work That It Always Did And It Would Begin To Transform Them And Then They Would End Up Seeing Things In The Same Way That You Did.
