Lo que es lo mejor hoy va a ser lo peor mañana. La única cosa que es cierto es that las cosas cambian.

That which is the best thing today will be the worst tomorrow. The only thing that is certain is that things change.

Often the best thing to do when someone is suffering a loss is not the words you say but your presence.

A menudo, la mejor cosa para hacer cuando alguien está sufriendo una pérdida no es las palabras hable pero su presencia.

There are situations when it's better to be quiet if one doesn't have anything smart to say.

Hay situaciones cuando es mejor estar callado, si uno no tiene algo inteligente a decir.
