“We all have moments when we allow others to cause us to react emotionally, especially in anger. Often we regret our response later, and we vow we will never allow ourselves to behave in this fashion again. The next time you feel the anger rising, remind yourself that no one can make you angry or emotional without your consent — indeed, your active participation is required. Those who have learned to manage themselves are the individuals who are destined to be leaders. They are chosen to manage others because they have demonstrated that they can manage themselves. They are people of character.”
— Napoleon Hill
“When considering a loan, a banker attaches great importance to three things: the borrower’s ability to repay the loan, the borrower’s credit history, and the borrower’s character. The first two considerations can be calculated mathematically; the third requires judgment and experience. Prudent bankers have learned that persons of character are always a good risk because they take their obligations seriously while those who spend their resources on the trappings of success should be avoided at all costs. Protect your good reputation as you would protect your home, your investments, and your life. Once shattered, a good reputation can only be regained by those who have developed the courage and willpower to persevere in the face of great odds.”
— Napoleon Hill
“Forever is composed of nows.”
— Emily Dickinson
“When you get stronger everything in the world gets easier. Change yourself and you’ve changed everything. ”

“If you go into shock when your child uses a word that you think is “nasty,” go stand in front of the mirror and say that word over and over until it loses its power over you. Then you’ll be able to direct your child into better expressions, rather than reacting when he or she says something “dirty.” “
— John-Roger
