Right or wrong. When you stand on a principle..you're never wrong.

Sandra Chami Kassis

They lived like monkeys still, while their new god powers lay around them in the weeds.

Kim Stanley Robinson

Of all the major religions, or lack thereof, the atheist's is one of the best pretenders: his foundation for all existences, as well as moral behaviors for the permanent good of mankind, begins at science but ends at himself, the Napoleon complex of both intelligence and imagination. On the other hand the anti-theist wouldn't survive without a deity beyond himself to hunt. He doesn't pretend, he simply nullifies his own position.

Criss Jami

Your goodness must have some edge to it -- else it is none.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The world is my church. My actions are my prayer. My behavior is my creed.

Steve Maraboli

Many things--such as loving, going to sleep, or behaving unaffectedly--are done worst when we try hardest to do them.

C.S. Lewis

Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.

C.S. Lewis

Just because your pain is understandable, doesn't mean your behavior is acceptable.

Steve Maraboli

The worse they are the more they see beauty in each other.

Alan Hollinghurst

We really don't know how to love each other because we haven't really learned to love ourselves. In many instances, not all, it's not malicious. We've just been conditioned to such bad behavior.

Iyanla Vanzant

Pay attention to what you pray for. Your prayers are not just a reflection of your desires and hopes; they are a guide for personal behavior. PRAY it, BE it, and you will SEE it.

Steve Maraboli

...the pleasantness of an employment does not always evince its propriety.

Jane Austen

When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him. If you injure someone you dislike, you will find yourself disliking him more. If you do him a good turn, you will find yourself disliking him less.

C.S. Lewis

Be like the bird that, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings.

Victor Hugo

Because you believed I was capable of behaving decently, I did.

Paulo Coelho

Behavior is a mirror in which every one displays his own image

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
