Ask yourself this question everyday: What is it about me that other people would change if they could?

Worry is just imagination used in an unproductive way.

Everybody wants to make a difference, but nobody wants to be different. And you simply cannot have one without the other.

It is not enough to recognize what is right and true. One must control the impulse to do what is wrong and easy.

Only true remorse and "Will you forgive me?" can press the reset button.

I'm not saying don't do the work you got, but instead of this two hours of watching TV at the hotel lobby or this three hours of sitting under the pier and reading comic books or worrying about what you're doing ... what value do you have? Can you read? There are people out there who can't read - go read to them.
