Gently
"The poison was never forced — it was offered gently, until you forgot it was poison at all."
-Author Unknown
Attributed to Mark Twain, but I found zero credible evidence that Twain ever said or wrote such a thing.
Still, it's a truism and worth sending, with that qualifier.

Thanks for pointing out the poison quote - is largely attributed to Mark Twain, but I too found zero credible evidence that Twain ever said or wrote such a thing…! Crazy. It should be easily found if his actual quote. There must be dozens of examples of folks using that quote and citing it was from him though…
