Advice Quote by Eugene Nathaniel Butler
“Sometimes dealing with people is like reviewing a restaurant menu. You have your totally tasteless folks. Then you have ones who are a couple of French fries short of a happy meal. Some are too spicy, others too bland, while many are just plain bad for your health. But there is nothing worse than the friends and family you do so much for and in return you get jack with a side of squat.”
