“To be strong enough to know when you are weak, brave enough to face yourself when you are afraid.
Not to seek the path of comfort, but to face the stress and spur of the difficulty and challenge.
Not to substitute words for actions.
To be proud and unbending in honest failure but humble and gentle in success.
To seek out and experience a vigor of the emotions, a freshness of the deep springs of lift, an appetite of adventure over love of ease.
To seek a temper of the will, a quality of the imagination and to exercise a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity.
To be modest so that you will appreciate the open mind of true wisdom, the meekness of true strength.
To be serious, yet never to take yourself too seriously; to cry, but also to laugh.
To discover the sense of wonder, the unfailing hope of what is next, and the joy and inspiration of life.”
― Tell My Sons . . .

“I'm not an invalid by a long shot, and I am physically capable in every conceivable way, but our lives are routinely punctuated by periods of complete misery that carry a dramatic impact.
These conditions have redefined the meaning of love, affection, and commitment for both of us virtually overnight. They have propelled us into a relationship more often seen at age seventy than forty.... The same prescription we've tried to employ for eighteen years seems to apply: communicate, and if you must fight, fight fair and be gracious when you make up.”

“Real modesty and humility, I thought, needed to be about figuring out which parts of the recognition belonged to me and which part belonged to my team, my peers, and my superiors.”
