Genuine sincerity opens people's hearts, while manipulation causes them to close.
We must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose.
The key to transforming our hearts and minds is to have an understanding of how our thoughts and emotions work.
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others, by their acts.
In the end we retain from our studies only that which we practically apply.
— Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
He that is giddy thinks the world turns round.
You can stand tall without standing on someone. You can be a victor without having victims.
