Make a Pearl
“The most extraordinary thing about the oyster is this: irritations get into his shell. He does not like them. But when he cannot get rid of them, he uses the irritation to do the lovliest thing an oyster has a chance to do. If there are irritations in our lives today, there is only one perscription: make a pearl.”
Harry Emerson Fosdick
