Always talk to the man about people in such a way that he might tell them everything whatever you said about them, good or evil and in the end, it should make no difference to you whether he tell them or not.

He who is accustomed to evil is offended by good.

Some people don’t know the difference between thinking for yourself and thinking of yourself.

At that moment I remembered something Cal had told me: that there is beauty in darkness in everything. Sorrow in joy, life and death, thorns on the rose. I knew then that I could not escape pain and torment any more than I could give up joy and beauty

Good manners are made up of letting people tell you what you already know.

Courage is not what people think you have but to appear to them as good as what you really are.
