Why should a Man be Moral? Because this strengthens his will.

Never say any man is hopeless, because he only represents a character, a bundle of habits, which can be checked by new and better ones. Character is repeated habits, and repeated habits alone can reform character.

Little acts of kindness and caring from other people rather than the negativity and anger.
