What is good for one person ought to be good enough for anyone else.
Unless you've got serious allergies, then this most likely won't work out (I have allergies to lots of things that seem to work for geese, but not me *lol* )

Often, when things become difficult, people who seem weak find the strength somehow to keep going! You become tough in hard times.
I can't think of the song, but there's a song with this exact line of thought! Do you by chance know which song I'm thinking of, homoe?

I like this thought process a lot. There's an strand of thought that goes something like this: "Flowers do not compete with other flowers: Instead, they just bloom."

So true. Thanks for all the many ways you've added toward the body of idioms, colloquial sayings and phrase of thoughts! Some I remember, some I frequently use, and other times I've just never heard of things people say to express what's on their mind.

“The work that is called for is the construction of our “More Perfect Union”(Obama). That job will never ever be completed: it’s one that requires rigorous attention and unfading wherewithal and all hands. The work is the keeping of the promises of our promised land. The practice of decency, the protection of freedom, and the promotion of liberty for all. With no exceptions. That takes a lot of work done on multiple job sites, every single day. And you can call each of them a battle for truth, justice and the American way,”

Tom Hanks.
