“The decent, strong person had to do decent, strong things like love unlovable people and keep peace even when it wasn't easy.”

“When we love a person, we accept him or her exactly as is: the lovely with the unlovely, the strong with the fearful, the true mixed in with the façade, and of course, the only way we can do it is by accepting ourselves that way.”

“Decent people are so easy to manipulate, Potter.”

“One expects decent people to stand up for the good of all. Decent people shut their doors and hide behind them as decent people do. Massacres could never happen if it weren't for decent people.”

“The people who keep asking if they can't lead a decent life without Christ, don't know what life is about; if they did they would know that 'a decent life' is mere machinery compared with the thing we men are really made for.”

“It's just whether you're going to do a decent thing or keep doing shitty things. So choose. Just stop whining about it.”
