“Sometimes being an adult means doing the right thing, even if it's not what you want.”

“The end justifies the means. Sometimes you have to do the wrong thing to get the right result.”

Sebastian Fitzek (1971) German writer

“There is no such thing as duty. If you know that a thing is right, you want to do it. If you don't want to do it—it isn't right. If it's right and you don't want to do it—you don't know what right is and you're not a man.”

Ayn Rand (1905–1982) Russian-American novelist and philosopher

“Sometimes the things we want most are the hardest to get. That means you need to be even more determined to succeed. That's what it takes to be a winner. You have to want it bad enough to stick with it no matter how tough things get.”

Chuck Norris (1940) American martial artist and actor

“Sometimes it's not enough to know what things mean, sometimes you have to know what things don't mean.”

Bob Dylan (1941) American singer-songwriter, musician, author, and artist

“Sometimes you dont even want to think aout what people are doing with their groceries.”

Sarah Dessen (1970) American writer

“Sometimes you say things in songs even if there's a small chance of them being true. And sometimes you say things that have nothing to do with the truth of what you want to say and sometimes you say things that everyone knows to be true. Then again, at the same time, you're thinking that the only truth on earth is that there is no truth on it. Whatever you are saying, you're saying in a ricky-tick way. There's never time to reflect. You stitched and pressed and packed and drove, is what you did.”

Bob Dylan (1941) American singer-songwriter, musician, author, and artist

“Stand up for what you believe in even if it means you stand alone. Speak the truth even if your voice shakes. Never regret doing the right thing no matter what the cost may be.”

Michael Jackson (1958–2009) American singer, songwriter and dancer

“Sometimes what you want is right in front of you. All you have to do is open your eyes and see it.”

Meg Cabot book All American Girl

“Sometimes being a leader isn’t about winning. Sometimes it’s about doing what’s right, instead of what’s powerful.”

James Patterson (1947) American author
