No matter how far you have gone on the wrong road, turn back.
– Turkish proverb
You must not live with a calculated motive of pleasing other people. Such motive is ego-centered; it expects some kind of reward. When the reward fails to come, as it often does, the so-called pleasantness turns to secret resentment.
– Vernon Howard
The best thing to give
to your enemy? forgiveness
to an opponent? tolerance
to a friend? your heart
to your child? a good example
to your mother? conduct that will make her proud
to yourself? respect
to all people? charity
– Frances Balfour
