Quotes
A person is not given integrity. It results from the relentless pursuit of honesty at all times.
If a good person does you wrong, act as though you had not noticed it. They will make note of this and not remain in your debt long.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning how to dance in the rain.
Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have.
Reflect upon your blessings, of which every man has plenty, not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
