Every human being is a child of God and has more good in him than evil - but circumstances and associates can step up the bad and reduce the good.

Stand up to an obstacle. Just stand up to it, that's all, and don't give way under it, and it will finally break. You will break it. Something has to break, and it won't be you, it will be the obstacle.
