No matter how far you have gone on the wrong road, turn back.

- Turkish proverb

You must not live with a calculated motive of pleasing other people. Such motive is ego-centered; it expects some kind of reward. When the reward fails to come, as it often does, the so-called pleasantness turns to secret resentment.

- Vernon Howard

- Frances Balfour
