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.
What we achieve inwardly will change outer reality.
By nature, man hates change; seldom will he quit his old home till it has actually fallen around his ears.
The art of progress is to preserve order amid change, and to preserve change amid order.
