Doing what's right is no guarantee against misfortune.
Nobody is impervious to misfortune.
I find that people... very few people think that what they're doing is bad, and usually the people who think what they're doing is bad it has more to do with guilt.
Wrong people are wrong not because of their faults but because of their presumed virtues.
There are many who are not guilty of doing anything wrong but very guilty of sins of omission - the things they neglect to do - the good things - the kind, thoughtful words, compassionate thoughts and hopeful attitudes they might have had towards their neighbor.
If a person is not willing to make a mistake, you're never going to do anything right.
We are all wrong so often that it amazes me that we can have any conviction at all over the direction of things to come. But we must.
Those who do wrong very often think others are censuring them, when they are not even thought of.
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.
Early in life I learned, just through observation, that right always wins out over wrong. If a person has good intentions in his heart and wants to do the right thing, then there are certain ways that any obstacle can be overcome.
