"The character that takes command in moments of crucial choices has already been determined by a thousand other choices made earlier in seemingly unimportant moments. It has been determined by all the 'little' choices of years past -- by all those times when the voice of conscience was at war with the voice of temptation, whispering the lie that 'it really doesn't matter.'

It has been deteremined by all the day-to-day decisions made when life seemed easy and crises seemed far away -- the decisions that, piece by piece, bit by bit, developed habits of discipline or of laziness; habits of self-scarifice or self-indulgence; habits of duty and honor and integrity -- or dishonor and shame." Ronald Reagan (1993)
