One of the best ways to elevate your character is to emulate worthy role models

It is difficulties that show what men are.

It is our attitude toward events, not events themselves, which we can control. Nothing is by its own nature calamitous -- even death is terrible only if we fear it.

We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how we respond to them.

When your thoughts, words, and deeds form a seamless fabric, you streamline your efforts and thus eliminate worry and dread.

Think of God oftener than you breathe.

Attach yourself to what is spiritually superior, regardless of what other people think or do. Hold to your true aspirations no matter what is going on around you.
