A person of character seeks true happiness in living a life of purpose and meaning, placing a higher value on significance than success.

Don't confuse fun with fulfillment, or pleasure with happiness.

Character is the moral strength to do the right thing even when it costs more than you want to pay.

What you allow you encourage.

Our obligation to others and a gift to ourselves is to acknowledge and authentically express genuine appreciation for courtesies, caring and concern others have given us.

At home, be grateful. At work, be appreciative. Gratitude is a gift we give ourselves. Appreciation is a gift we give to others.

Lincoln described character is a tree and reputation as its shadow. The tree will always be what it is but the shadow we see depends on where we stand and the angle of the light.
