Being and Doing – 16 February – True Independence
Do not be the slave of first impressions.
Do not be the slave of first impressions.
THE noblest deeds of heroism are done within four walls, not before the public gaze.
BY repeated choices we form our character.
WE have not our choice to be rich or poor, to be in health or in sickness, but we have our choice to be worthy or worthless
we prepare ourselves for sudden deeds by the reiterated choice of good or evil that gradually determines character.
perfect freedom can only be won by the discipline of self-restraint.
…her ideal was not to claim justice, but to give tenderness.
NOBLENESS of character is nothing but steady love of good, and steady scorn of evil.
Let us do our work as well,
Both the unseen and the seen;
EACH hour has its lesson, and each life;
And if we miss our life we shall not find
Its lesson in another.
