My son, pay attention to my wisdom.
—Proverbs 5:1
One more batch of lessons I learned from my dad.
I learned that . . .
I can’t choose where I came from, but I can choose where I am going.
The only one who can do me lasting harm is me.
Courage is not being fearless but finding the strength to do what I have to do even when I am afraid.
Today is always here; tomorrow never.
I should never let a charitable thought end with a good intention.
The best things in life aren’t things.
I shouldn’t grumble about what I don’t have, but be grateful for what I do have.
If I have integrity, nothing else matters—and if I don’t have integrity, nothing else matters.
There is no right way to do a wrong thing.
The path of failure goes two ways: following the
advice of no one and following the advice of everyone.
