It's easy enough to change your personality, to become evil. The trouble is, it stays with you. And it damages you. |
Spirit is not bothered by habits - habits belong to the personality. |
The truth is that personality inevitably bleeds into all forms of our intellectual life. We all extrapolate from our own lives in order to understand the world. |
Every human personality is the product of an innate drive to create something unique from one's raw individual experience. |
Manners and politeness will never become old-fashioned. |
Positive expectations are the mark of the superior personality. |
Being both soft and strong is a combination very few have mastered. |
Make yourself in such a way that you are always part of the solution, not the problem. |
I hold that a strongly marked personality can influence descendants for generations. |
