Our integrity determines what we really are.

I have had the opportunity to become acquainted with many wonderful people from many walks of life. I have known rich and poor, famous and modest, wise and otherwise.

Each choice has a consequence. Each consequence a destination.

Anything that does not draw us closer to God takes us away from him.

Integrity means always doing what is right and good, regardless of the immediate consequences.

I believe that perseverance is vital to success in any endeavor, whether spiritual or temporal, large or small, public or personal. . . . All significant achievement results largely from perseverance.

As with the butterfly, adversity is necessary to build character in people. As you overcome adversity in your life, you will become stronger.
