From long familiarity, we know what honor is.
It is what enables the individual to do right in the face of complacency and cowardice.
It is what enables the soldier to die alone,
the political prisoner to resist,
the singer to sing her song, hardly appreciated, on a side street.
~ Mark Helprin
"A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action.
If there's no action, you haven't truly decided."
~ Tony Robbins
"No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, can ever compel the soul of a person
to believe or to disbelieve."
~ Thomas Carlyle
"The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect
but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity.
The creative mind plays with the objects it loves."
~ Carl Jung
"If you live long enough, you'll make mistakes.
But if you learn from them, you'll be a better person.
It's how you handle adversity, not how it affects you.
The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit."
~ Bill Clinton
