To give so much time to the improvement of yourself That you have no time to criticise others, To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, And too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Never try to compel others to change leave them free to change naturally and orderly because they want to and they will want to when they find that your change was worthwhile. To inspire in others a desire to chance for the better is truly noble but this you can do only by leaving them alone, and becoming more noble yourself.
Christian D. Larson

Whenever you permit yourself to think what persons, things, conditions, or circumstances may suggest, you are not following what you want to think. You are not following your own desires but borrowed desires. Use your imagination in determining what you want to think or do.
Christian D. Larson
What we love in others we not only awaken in others, but we develop those very things more or less in ourselves.
