If you want to get something done, give it to a busy man.

People who exercise their embryonic freedom day after day, little by little, expand that freedom. People who do not will find that it withers until they are literally 'being lived.' They are acting out scripts written by parents, associates, and society.

Unless people feel that they are accepted and that they have a right to express their feelings without fear of embarrassment or ridicule, all they will do is react and rebel and struggle for their identity.

When we look through the lens of each others' weaknesses, we make others' strengths irrelevant and their weaknesses more evident.

We all go through stages. Concerns about appearances, making good impressions, being popular, comparing yourself to others, having unbridled ambition, wanting to make money, striving to be recognized and noticed and trying to establish yourself, all fade as your responsibilities and character grow.

We develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and obstacles.

In the long run, you can never accomplish a worthy end with an unworthy means.
