“You see, the way I look at it, if you halt your forward progress every time you get a little tired or irritable or whatever, then you are suffering from a lack of discipline. On the other hand, if you keep pushing when you are chronically tired or really sick, then you are a fool. A lot of men do this because of a misplaced sense of macho. It’s not macho, it’s stupid.”

—The Boron Letters; Gary C. Halbert

“You know, kiddo, you can’t always control what happens to you in your life, but you do have a lot of control over your responses. So what do I do with this hurt? I write. I do my road work. I do my chores. I don’t snivel.”

— The Boron Letters; Gary C. Halbert

[shelfquotes]

“When a person falls in love, it happens almost instantaneously. After that, minor things like the truth about the newly beloved are cast aside unless those ‘truths’ happen to reinforce the wonderfulness of said love subject.”
