“Which would you choose if you could:pleasure for yourself despite your friendsor a share in their grief?”

“It is like choosing whether to cut off one's right hand or one's left hand. It is like having to decide whether to save your drowning mother, knowing that you may both drown, or swimming to shore alone, knowing that you can only save yourself. If that is your dilemma, which way is right? Which way would you choose?”

“These are difficulties which you must settle for yourself. Choose your own degree of crossness. I shall press you no more.”

“For it is in your power to retire into yourself whenever you choose.”

“The will of God is not something you add to your life. It’s a course you choose. You either line yourself up with the Son of God…or you capitulate to the principle which governs the rest of the world.”

“You can't make yourself feel positive, but you can choose how to act, and if you choose right, it builds your confidence.”
