Throughout my lifetime, I’ve left pieces of my heart here and there. And now, there’s almost not enough to stay alive. But I force a smile, knowing that my ambition far exceeded my talent. There are no more white horses or pretty ladies at my door.” – George Jung

I mean, you say I’m an outlaw, you say I’m a thief, but where’s the Christmas dinner for the people on relief? Huh? You say you’re looking for someone who’s never weak but always strong, to gather flowers constantly whether you are right or wrong, someone to open each and every door, but it ain’t me, babe, huh? No, no, no, it ain’t me, babe. It ain’t me you’re looking for, babe. You follow?”
Judge: “Yeah. Gosh, you know, your concepts are really interesting, Mister Jung.”

Would You Succumb to Temptation Like George Jung?
Everyone has a backstory that motivates them to act a certain way. We are molded by our childhood, our friends, our family, and the freedom we gain once we reach adulthood. Everything and anything in our lives is a consequence of our choices, whether good or bad.
George Jung, unfortunately, chose a life of sin. While his childhood is something we can relate to, it doesn’t mean that we should succumb to immoral acts and commit crimes.
Because George decided to hold on to his vices, he slowly but surely lost the things and people he loved. His own mother called the cops on him, he never got to say goodbye to his father in his dying moments, and he broke the promises he made to his child.
Redemption will always be there for people who have sinned because that’s how forgiving our Lord is. However, though that statement is true, the power to redeem ourselves lies only within us. We need to decide that we’ll change, and we need to put our decision into action.
With that, we hope this list of quotes was able to encourage you to live your life as righteously as you can. It won’t always be easy because of how harsh life is, but hold on to the good. Someday, your efforts will be repaid!
