“One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a
debate that goes on inside people. He said, ‘My son, the
battle between two wolves is inside us all. One is Evil. It is
anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self
-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,
superiority, and ego. The other is good. It is joy; peace,
love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,
empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.’ The
grandson thought about this for a minute and then asked
his grandfather: “Which wolf wins?” The old Cherokee
simply replied, “The one you feed.’”
“One good wish changes nothing. One good decision
changes everything.”
“One may miss the mark by aiming too high as too low.”
