“Failure makes you stronger, if you let it.” “Exactly. And God knows that. Sometimes, He leads us through a door that results in failure. It’s failure that we would have avoided if we had avoided the open door, but we would have avoided the lessons - lessons that make us better people. More compassionate people. People who see things from others’ perspectives and notice things that we might not have known before. Just a whole wealth of experiences and ideas and attitudes and actions that we learn when things don’t go the way we want them to.”

“But I learned through those years that you choose your own happiness, and you have to put the past behind you. It’s over with, and all it does is eat you up if you let it.” “Your husband was a jerk. I admire you for saying you put it behind you. Is that true?” Tiffany asked, unsure how anyone could put the cheating of their husband and the breakup with their family behind them with no bitterness. “It is. Because if I don’t put that behind me, if I let that bother me, I’m not punishing him. I’m punishing myself. He doesn’t give a flip whether I’m still angry at him or not. But my anger eats me. That’s why forgiveness is so important.” Maybe no one ever explained it to her quite like that before, or maybe she just had refused to listen. But it made sense. Forgiving someone was less about letting them get away with it and more about freeing herself to not be bitter and angry and not allow those emotions to destroy her health and her peace of mind. “My forgiveness needs to be pointed more directly at myself than anyone around me. I made a lot of stupid mistakes that hurt myself.” Tiffany”

“The American character, and the American dream, could never be disentangled, and ultimately the latter would go only as far as the former would take it.”

“A man's character is like his house. If he tears boards off his house and burns them to keep himself warm and comfortable, his house soon becomes a ruin. If he tells lies to be able to do the things he shouldn't do but wants to, his character will soon become a ruin. A man with a ruined character is a shame on the face of the earth.”

“Happiness is not achieved by the conscious pursuit of happiness; it is generally the by-product of other activities.”

“I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances. a”
