Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma—which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

I give them all up for you." Apply this to the problem of lust.
— Bishop Fulton J. Sheen
He now clearly perceived the truth which was henceforth to be the centre of his life, namely, that while she was there, while he had her near him, he would need nothing except for her sake and fear nothing except on her account.
