◆ Excessive interest in pathological behavior was itself pathological

- Arthur C. Clarke99

◆ ...the pleasantness of an employment does not always evince its propriety.

- Jane Austen99

◆ You only had to choose which me to talk to, for, you know, we all change our manners, depending on who has come to chat. One doesn't behave at all the same way to a grandfather as to a bosom friend, to a professor as to a curious niece.

- Catherynne M. Valente99

◆ We are masters of our characters and in turn, slaves of their outgrowth.

- Mohammed Ali Bapir99

◆ Allow yourself to think only those thoughts that match your principles and can bear the bright light of day. Day by day, your choices, your thoughts, your actions fashion the person you become. Your integrity determines your destiny.

- Heraclitus99

◆ Not all addictions are rooted in abuse or trauma, but I do believe they can all be traced to painful experience. A hurt is at the centre of all addictive behaviours. It is present in the gambler, the Internet addict, the compulsive shopper and the workaholic. The wound may not be as deep and the ache not as excruciating, and it may even be entirely hidden—but it's there. As we'll see, the effects of early stress or adverse experiences directly shape both the psychology and the neurobiology of addiction in the brain.

- Gabor Maté99

◆ Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.

- C.S. Lewis99

◆ The world is my church. My actions are my prayer. My behavior is my creed.

- Steve Maraboli99

◆ If you can understand human behavior, it can't hurt you nearly as much.

- Carol Plum-Ucci99

◆ A true leader is a person whose influence inspires people to do what is expected of them to do. You cease to be a leader when you manipulate with your egos instead of convincing by your inspirations.

- Israelmore Ayivor99

◆ Your beauty and status are to be remembered for some time, but your good behavior and sincerity will rule over the hearts forever.

- Ritu Ghatourey99

◆ Parents taught me how to behave, school taught me what to do for a living. The work helped me earn a living. But only God gave me a reason to live. So to God be all the glory.

- Kemmy Nola99
