Ethics is not about the way things are, it is about the way things ought to be.
Good intentions are simply not enough. Our character is defined and our lives are determined not by what we want, say or think, but by what we do.
What will matter is not your success but your significance.
It is much more difficult to know what is fair than what is unfair
Take pride in how far you've come. Have faith in how far you can go. But don't forget to enjoy the journey.
Ethics doesn't require us to ignore our self-interests or demand a life of self-sacrifice. It requires that we know the difference between what we want and what we should do
