It is most pleasant to commit a just action which is disagreeable to someone whom one does not like.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you commit to something, you don't want to let your fellow people and yourself down.
To refuse graciously is to confer a favor.
But if I'm going to cause somebody else discomfort by my actions, then I should probably modify my actions toward them to make them as comfortable as possible.
Once you commit to something, you've got to commit the whole way. Try and make the best of it.
I think anyone who doesn't say that they'd like people to think that they're doing the right thing is wrong. I mean, I'd like it to be that way, but I've never allowed it to influence my actions.
The best way to avoid a bad action is by doing a good one, for there is no difficulty in the world like that of trying to do nothing.
If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.
We're living in a time where I think most people are wanting someone to invite them respectfully to a policy position, not try to just slash and burn the other person.
I refuse to act the way someone expects me to.
I know of no more disagreeable situation than to be left feeling generally angry without anybody in particular to be angry at.
