The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the full
light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day
by day, what you choose, what you think, and what you do is who
you become. Your integrity is your destiny.
It is the light that guides your way.
Heraclitus,
Greek Poet and Philosopher,
6th Century B.C.
