“A person can have all of the knowledge in the world, but without the will power to use that knowledge and put it to good use, it will be wasted. Therefore, it is crucial to develop, test, and strengthen your will constantly.”

“Self-forgiveness is a necessary part of living a life of happiness. Although it is appropriate and natural to feel bad when you’ve done something wrong or that goes against your principles, it is also important not to let the feeling last for longer than is necessary in order to learn what you need to from the experience. What you’ve done in the past is done; today is a new day. Don’t let yesterday (or tomorrow) prevent you from being happy today.”
