"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen." --Winston Churchill

This one is sometimes hard to remember, in it's entirety. It is often more difficult to listen to hard truths or another's contrary position than to stand and speak your own pain, anger and frustration. When neither side truly listens, then there is no possible understanding, only argument. :(

And since you know you cannot see yourself,
so well as by reflection, I, your glass,
will modestly discover to yourself,
that of yourself which you yet know not of.

And this I know; whether the one True Light
Kindle to Love, or Wrath consume me quite,
One flash of it within the Tavern caught
Better than in the temple lost outright.

Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.

We climb to heaven most often on the ruins of our cherished plans,
finding our failures were successes.

Next to knowing when to seize an opportunity, the most important thing in life is to know when to forgo an advantage.
