When you do bad things, bad things happen to you.

I'm not a passive person by any stretch of the imagination.

In this very real world, good doesn't drive out evil. Evil doesn't drive out good. But the energetic displaces the passive.

Mental events, it is said, are not passive happenings but the acts of a subject.

Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have - life itself.

There is nothing in nature wherein there is not good and evil; everything moveth and liveth in this double impulse, working or operation, be it what it will.

Things go wrong all the time; you can't be precious about it.

Mistakes can be good things, because it is an unexpected thing.

Bad things happen sometimes.

Very few people do bad things because they're bad. They generally do bad things because they think they're the right thing to do, but they're misplaced.
