Hendley: Come on, Roger. We all know the score here, at least... most of us do. Your idea of this escape is to... start another front, to foul up the Germans behind the lines. All right, that's fine, that's fine. But once we get passed that barbed wi...
Ransom Stoddard: Marshal, I was wrong the other day. But I was reading up on territorial law, and there it is, right there. Now, I'll draw up the complaint, take care of all the legal details - but you *do* have jurisdiction. Says so right there. So ...

Sergeant Horvath: I don't know. Part of me thinks the kid's right. He asks what he's done to deserve this. He wants to stay here, fine. Let's leave him and go home. But then another part of me thinks, what if by some miracle we stay, then actually ma...

It's easy to get lost in our own heads. It's easy to allow the thoughts and worries and plans and hopes to take on their own lives and control our minds in such a way that we lose sight of all that's around us in any given moment. It's difficult to a...

Giving Back reframes portraits of philanthropy.
More than ever before, Americans are suffering from back problems: back taxes, back rent, back auto payments.
When you rely on incentives, you undermine virtues. Then when you discover that you actually need people who want to do the right thing, those people don't exist because you've crushed anyone's desire to do the right thing with all these incentives.
Think about that for a moment. They died for you. Now take a good look at the life you're living and tell me: Did they do the right thing?
That's how you know you're doing the right thing - it's so hard you want to give up.
Doing the right thing for someone else occasionally means doing something that feels wrong to you.
Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it's hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way.
This seemed like one of those make-it-or-break-it moments where you have to consciously choose to do the right thing. Or be bad.
In the end you should always do the right thing even if it's hard.
Sometimes doing the right thing does take more courage, but the feeling it gives you deep inside makes it worth it.
You only live once. Trying to do the right thing for other people often doesn't work out, and you have to follow your own path in order to make things work out best for everyone.
In life, try your best to do the right thing. Have fun while you're alive. Take advantage of every asset you have. Don't take anything for granted.
I may have hurt some people along the way, but I would like to be seen as somebody who has done his best to do the right thing for any situation and not compromised.
...Next time you're faced with a choice, do the right thing. It hurts everyone less in the long run.
