G.K. Chesterton on perception

I found a page of G.K. Chesterton quotations on the internet while looking for a George Bernard Shaw quotation, and they all seemed quite pithy, but I was struck by one because it seems to describe one way in which I differ from most people in my life.

"An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered."

Sometimes I feel like I'd have a lot more adventures if the people around me didn't insist on considering them inconveniences.
