A fine glass vase goes from treasure to trash, the moment it is broken. Fortunately, something else happens to you and me. Pick up your pieces. Then, help me gather mine.

About This Quote

When something is broken, we may become frustrated or angry at the situation. But when it is broken, we should pick up the pieces and be willing to start over. Then, when we are done with our own mess, we should help others pick up their pieces so that they can continue on in life.
