People are very open-minded about new things as long as they're exactly like the old ones. Character is the final decision to reject whatever is demeaning to oneself or to others and with confidence and honesty choose what is right. The way in which we think of ourselves has everything to do with how our world sees us and how we can see ourselves successfully acknowledged by that world. The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness. Happiness is not a state to arrive at, but a manner of traveling. Your friendship is a glowing ember through the year; and each December trom its warm and living spark We kindle flame against the dark and with its shining radiance light our tree of faith on Christmas night. Wear the old coat and buy the new book. To limit the press is to insult a nation; to prohibit reading of certain books is to declare the inhabitants to be either fools or slaves Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are stiffened. Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present. |
