Knowing what's right doesn't mean much unless you do what's right.
The right thing to do and the hard thing to do are usually the same.
It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.
Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.

To see what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice.
Learn to say ‘no’ to the good so you can say ‘yes’ to the best.
It is wrong and immoral to seek to escape the consequences of one’s acts.
