Self-respect is the root of discipline: The sense of dignity
grows with the ability to say no to oneself.
Abraham Joshua Heschel 1907-1972
Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be
getting praise and blame, but do not let either affect the
poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of
pride.
Sutta Nipata
Never measure the height of a mountain until you have
reached the top. Then you will see how low it was.
DAG HAMMARSKJOLD
There were many ways of breaking a heart. Stories were
full of hearts broken by love, but what really broke a heart
was taking away its dream - whatever that dream might be.
Pearl S. Buck
