He would be the finer gentleman that should leave the world without having tasted of lying or pretence of any sort, or of wantonness or conceit.

If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one's own self-deception and ignorance.

...the infallible man does not exist.

People find pressure in different ways. I find it in keeping my mind clear. In not turning away from people or the things that happen to them. In accepting and welcoming everything I see. In treating each thing as it deserves.

Understand however that every man is worth just so much as the things are worth about which he busies himself.

Everything that happens happens as it should, and if you observe carefully, you will find this to be so.

Our life is what our thoughts make it.
