No more crying. Tears only cause destructivefloods. When you are sad, you build a boat.

About This Quote

If you are sad, you should not spend time crying. Instead, build a boat and use it to push away the sadness. If you cannot do that, then you must go ahead and cry. Tears only cause destructive floods that only bring more sadness.
