Happiness can be defined, in part at least, as the fruit of the desire and ability to sacrifice what we want now for what we want eventually
Stephen Covey
It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one's heart rather than out of pity. A person must possess himself and have a deep sense of security in fundamental principles and values in order to genuinely apologize.
Stephen Covey
Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
