Quote d'jour

An old man says to his grandson: 'There's a fight going on inside me. It's a terrible fight between two wolves. One is evil -- angry, greedy, jealous, arrogant, and cowardly. The other is good -- peaceful, loving, modest, generous, honest, and trustworthy. These two wolves are also fighting within you, and inside every other person too.'
After a moment, the boy asks, 'Which wolf will win?'
The old man smiles.
'The one you feed.'
