Our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions.
We must never be too busy to take time to sharpen the saw.
We see the world, not as it is, but as we are──or, as we are conditioned to see it.
My behavior is a product of my own conscious choices based on principles, rather than a product of my conditions, based on feelings.
Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one's heart rather than out of pity.
