Quote by Craig D. Lounsbrough

“Nowhere within me do I have the fortitude to give up power and prestige in order to walk a road of poverty and die a death of agony. And the incomprehensible nature of such rogue decision born of an irrepressible love and executed by an obstinate sacrifice can be nothing other than the stuff of God, for it is not within the character of men.”

“The real test of your character is not how much you deal with adversity — although that will teach you much. The real test is how you deal with power. The only cure for power is humility and the admission that your power comes from luck. The small person believes they are superior; the superior person knows they are lucky.”
