Watch Your Thoughts
Watch your thoughts;
They become your words.
Watch your words;
They become your actions.
Watch your actions;
They become your habits.
Watch your habits;
They become your character.
Watch your character,
For it becomes your destiny.
If I am not for myself, who will be for me?
If I am only for myself, what am I?
And if not now, when?
Hillel, ancient scholar
