"Do not pray for rain if you are going to complain about the mud." Proverbs

“Mud-pies gratify one of our first and best instincts. So long as we are dirty, we are pure.” -Charles Dudley Warner

Before I was humiliated I was like a stone that lies in deep mud, and he who is mighty came and in his compassion raised me up and exalted me very high and placed me on the top of the wall. -Saint Patrick
