"People of character do the right thing even if no one else does, not because they think it will change the world, but because they refuse to be changed by the world" - Michael Josephson
Hi Steve, I had to search for the full quote in order to understand it better.
“What we call our destiny is truly our character and that character can be altered. The knowledge that we are responsible for our actions and attitudes does not need to be discouraging, because it also means that we are free to change this destiny. One is not in bondage to the past, which has shaped our feelings, to race, inheritance, background. All this can be altered if we have the courage to examine how it formed us. We can alter the chemistry provided we have the courage to dissect the elements.” - Anaïs Nin

Hi M,
DeleteI hope you liked it. ;)
And remember K. Klaus:
"An aphorism never coincides with the truth: it is either a half-truth or one-and-a-half truths."
P.S. Sorry for my bad english, I'm Italian and not so good in English.
