Every time I say 'no' to a small temptation, I strengthen my will to say 'no' to a greater one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My parents taught me to react quickly when temptation comes and to say 'No!' instantly and emphatically. I recommend that same counsel to you. Avoid temptations.
Here's a vice: I say yes to too many things. I wish I had the guilty pleasure of saying no. My goal is to try to do less, but more fully.
The most important lesson I've learned in this business is how to say no. I have said no to a lot of temptations, and I am glad I did.
Once I commit to something, I complete it. If I say 'no,' I mean 'no.' I just have to learn how to say 'no' more.
Why resist temptation? There will always be more.
One of the important things about temptation is, if I'm going to deal with it I'm going to have to recognize, this is an area of weakness in my life. I have been tempted here before and before and before.
You oughtn't to yield to temptation. Well, somebody must, or the thing becomes absurd.
I never resist temptation, because I have found that things that are bad for me do not tempt me.
There are too many things I find it difficult to say 'no' to.
Lead me not into temptation; I can find the way myself.
