You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence.
The difficulties and struggles of today are but the price we must pay for the accomplishments and victories of tomorrow.
That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
The individual activity of one man with backbone will do more than a thousand men with a mere wishbone.
The more you learn what to do with yourself, and the more you do for others, the more you will learn to enjoy the abundant life.
