The Two Wolves
One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that was going
on inside himself.
He said, "My son, it is between 2 wolves. One is evil: Anger, envy, sorrow,
regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies,
false pride, superiority and ego... The other is good: Joy, peace, love,
hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth,
compassion and faith..."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
"Which wolf wins?"
The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one I feed."

"Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without it we
can't practice any other virtue with consistency."
