If we do have realistic confidence in our mind and value, if we feel secure within ourselves, we tend to experience the world as open to us and to respond appropriately to challenges and opportunities.

Integrity is the integration of ideals, convictions, standards, beliefs-and behavior. When our behavior is congruent with our professed values, when ideals and practice match up, we have integrity.

Your life is important. Fight for it. Honour your highest potentials.

Feel deeply to think clearly.

For the rational, psychologically healthy man, the desire for pleasure is the desire to celebrate his control over reality. For the neurotic, the desire for pleasure is the desire to escape from reality.

The desire for self-esteem without integrity is like the desire for wealth without effort-a longing for the unearned.

The ultimate test of our integrity is not how we deal with those whom we agree but how we deal with those who we do not agree.
