It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.<\/li>\n<li>Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can&#8217;t practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve learned that you shouldn&#8217;t go through life with a catcher&#8217;s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.<br \/>\nIf one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities.<\/li>\n<li>If you don&#8217;t like something, change it. If you can&#8217;t change it, change your attitude.<\/li>\n<li>Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time.<\/li>\n<li>Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at it destination full of hope.<\/li>\n<li>The idea is to write it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart.<\/li>\n<li>There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.<\/li>\n<li>There is nothing so pitiful as a young cynic because he has gone from knowing nothing to believing nothing.<\/li>\n<li>My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Chris George, providing reliable PR counsel and effective advocacy.
