The one who is never around is always the perfect one without flaws.
Close proximity to people will expose you to their flaws.
And we have the tendency to value someone whom we haven’t seen their flaws over the one who is always available and accessible.
The one who is never around is never wrong.
Value people, most especially the one who stayed!
– Pope
The seed and the harvest
You reap what you sow. You reap where you sow. (You can't sow all of yourself into work and expect to reap from your family) You reap after you sow. You always reap more than you sow. You can sow: time, sweat, effort, material -Pope
