“Don’t let what happened to you, make you who you are as you go on. Let it be part of you, but not everything. There is more to life and more love in you than that.” The Girl Next Door; pg. 326
“Peace of Mind – if someone asked me what I would do differently if I had the opportunity to live over again, my answer would be: I’d be honest in all things. I look back over my life occasionally with a certain degree of shame and embarrassment at some of the dishonest things I’ve said and done. It took me too long to realize that dishonesty is self-centerdness at its worst. When I finally wised up, I couldn’t believe the change that took place. Since making a commitment to be honest, I’ve known an inner peace that I would have thought impossible. Honesty has a built-in reward; a mind at peace with itself. If there were no other reasons to be honest, this alone would be enough.” – Hal Urban; Life’s Greatest Lessons; pg. 81.
