Take things always by their smooth handle.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Approach circumstances by the part that is easy to hold, the words advise, rather than gripping them where they are rough or sharp. It is a counsel of temperament: meet annoyances and setbacks by their gentler side, and life becomes more manageable. The advice favors calm handling over needless struggle.
