Successful or not, acts of physical courage always bring honor. It is the smaller forms of valor - standing up for principle at the risk of social disapproval, economic loss or injury to career - that require the greatest moral will power. Since there is usually little upside to winning and a significant and often lasting downside to losing, moral courage often requires as much character as physical bravery.

One key to success is demanding more than adequacy, never settling for good enough and always doing a little bit more.

Don't sacrifice a good life for a good time.

A person of character knows the difference between right and wrong and always tries to do the right thing for the right reason.

Character is doing the right thing even when it costs more than you want to pay. When it comes to character, you dont have to be sick to get better. Its easier for a good person to get better than for a bad person to get good.

It is better to be unsuccessful pursuing a significant goal that being successful attaining an insignificant one.

A caring heart that listens is often more valued than an intelligent mind that talks.
