Confidence, Confucius

Respect yourself and others will respect you.

- Confucius (孔子, 551BC–479BC)

Compromise, Charles Conrad

Making an issue of little things is one of the surest ways to spoil happiness. One’s personal pride is felt to be vitally injured by surrender, but there is no quality of human nature so nearly royal as the ability to yield gracefully. It shows small confidence in one’s own nature to fear that compromise lessens self-control. To consider constantly the comfort and happiness of another is not a sign of weakness but of strength.

- Charles Conrad

사소한 일을 크게 만드는 것은 행복을 망치는 지름길이다. 타협을 하면 자존심에 엄청난 상처를 입는 기분이겠지만, 인간의 본성에는 우아하게 소리 지르기처럼 휘황찬란한 능력은 존재하지 않는다. 타협이 자제력을 저하시킬지 모른다는 두려움은 자신감의 결핍을 보여주는 것에 지나지 않는다. 타인의 안락과 행복을 지속적으로 살피는 것은 나약함의 증거가 아니라, 강인함의 증거이다.

- 찰스 콘래드 (Charles Conrad)

Life, Winnie the Pooh

If you live to be 100, I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day, so I never have to live without you.

Love, Gina Gershon as Sharon McCarthy from P.S. I Love You (2007)

Holly Kennedy: Do you think it'd be all right if I stop my life right here? Become good Miss Haversham of the Lower East Side? Never leave my apartment till I'm old. Sit in my wedding dress...
Sharon McCarthy: Which you never had.
Holly Kennedy: With an old piece of wedding cake?
Sharon McCarthy: Which you never had. Gotta be rich to be insane, Hol. Losing your mind is not a luxury for the middle class.
