Blessed is he who has learned to admire but not envy, to follow but not imitate, to praise but not flatter, and to lead but not manipulate. Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail.
Character is built out of circumstances.
From exactly the same materials one man builds palaces, while another builds hovels. Sometime in your life you will have been all of these. When we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves. A man can do only what a man can do. How a man plays the game shows something of his character, how he loses shows all of it.
