Historical forerunner of "If you can't fix it you got a stand it" from 1808!!
« on: July 22, 2008, 02:03:36 am »
I just got back from Canada and saw this 1808 quote at an historic fort on the Fraser River by Simon Fraser (1776–1862), a fur trader and an explorer who charted much of what is now the Canadian province of British Columbia:

"What cannot be cured must be endured."   :o  :o

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection
