The surgeon told me it was a "miracle" my husband survived open heart surgery. He had given up hope and was getting ready to put him on life support until his family arrived. To me it's no miracle, I attribute it to the ultimate in self control, his will to survive.


That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
