"Almost everyone takes pleasure in repaying trifling..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Weakness of character is the only defect which cannot be amended.”

“It is as easy to unknowingly deceive yourself as it is to deceive others.”

“Self-interest speaks all manner of tongues and plays all manner of parts, even that of disinterestedness.”

“I’m grateful for being here, for being able to think, for being able to see, for being able to taste, for appreciating love – for knowing that it exists in a world so rife with vulgarity, with brutality and violence, and yet love exists. I’m grateful to know that it exists.”

“One of the problems with worry is that it keeps you from enjoying what you have.”

“Here's the gift of gratitude: In order to feel it, your ego has to take a backseat. What shows up in its place is greater compassion and understanding. Instead of being frustrated, you choose appreciation. And the more grateful you become, the more you have to be grateful for.”

“No obligation to do the impossible is binding.”

“The insignia meant a lot to the men who were fighting ... I had to do it ... I owed it to them.”

“Duty is not beneficial because it is commanded,but is commanded because it is beneficial.”
