- Better to be slapped with the truth than kissed with a lie.
- Your first thought in response to a situation or person is generally how you were raised to think. Your second is often how you choose to think.
- Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
- I am an old man and have known many troubles, most of which never happened – Mark Twain
