13"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 the past--by all those times when the voice of conscience was at war with the voice of temptation, [which was] whispering the lie that 'it really doesn't matter.' It has been determined by all the day-to-day decisions made when life seemed easy and crises seemed far
away…” – President Ronald ReaganReagan, R. W. (1993). The character that takes command. Retrieved from http://www.wisdomcommons.org/wisbits/
