An old Cherokee told his grandson, "My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, inferiority, lies, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, humility, kindness, empathy, and truth."
The boy thought about it and asked, "Grandfather, which wolf wins?"
The old man quietly replied, "The one you feed."

Knowledge may give weight, but accomplishments give lustre, and many more people see than weigh.-- misattributed to Herodotus, apparently it's Lord Chesterfield. One more, translated from Herodotus, so ok to still attribute to him, may be not the phrasing: In peace sons bury fathers, but in war fathers bury sons.Src: en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Herodotus
