It's easier to make a good person better than to make a bad person good.

Gratitude is not a payment for a kindness but another form of gift.

Good character is more important than wealth, good looks, popularity and even education. These things do not guarantee happiness and often they become obstacles to developing good character.

No one is born with good character; it's not a hereditary trait. And it isn't determined by a single noble act. Character is established by conscientious adherence to moral values, not by lofty rhetoric or good intentions.

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

The choices you make in your life will make your life. Choose wisely.

Expressed gratitude encourages further giving; ingratitude drains vitality out of the spirit of generosity.
