If you wish to possess a particular virtue, act as if you have it. - TopicsExpress



          

If you wish to possess a particular virtue, act as if you have it. If you wish to be polite, make a point of speaking courteously and of assisting others. If you wish to be chaste, cast out impure thoughts and focus your mind on holy things. If you want to be courageous, make little acts that are difficult for you to do. Soon enough you will have whatever virtue you are trying to have. I think that was basically St. Francis de Sales or someone, but I just kind of paraphrased it from memory.
