Gratitude should be felt and experienced sincerely, expressed generously and received graciously.

Integrity, respect, compassion, and fairness become obstacles to people who think winning is everything

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

Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident. It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice. Choose to live a life that matters.

The only force that can sustain true and consistent courage is some form of spiritual belief that values like honor, duty, loyalty and integrity above the status, power, money and even security.

It can be frustrating and even frightening to observe the success which sometimes comes to outlaws and rogues who seem to refute notions of universal justice. Every time we see a villain enjoying the fruits of dishonorable acts we find ourselves doubting the value of character and the validity of the virtues we have been taught. Thus, it takes character to believe in character, but that belief is always rewarded, often by material success, but always by the esteem it earns from those who matter.

Personal integrity is important, not because it gets us what we want, but because it helps us be what we want.
