“It is attitude, infinitely more than circumstance, that determines the quality of life. Life is often quite tough, challenging us to choose between seemingly esoteric, intangible ideals and getting goodies or good vibes right now. You have character when you most often choose ideals.”

“Even if it’s not your ideal life, you can always choose it. No matter what your life is, choosing it changes everything.”

“Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you, as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens. Circumstances and attitudes do color life...but you have been given the mind to choose what the colors will be.”

“Worry is most often a prideful way of thinking that you have more control over life and its circumstances than you actually do.”

“A romantic man often feels more uplifted with two women than with one: his love seems to hit the ideal mark somewhere between two different faces.”

“The most difficult challenge an honest man will ever face is having to choose between duty and love.One creates a man of honorable character―a life worth dying for.The other creates a vulnerable soul that madly yearns for either death or immortality.”
