It isn't the absence of conscience or values that prevents us from being all we should be, it is simply the lack of moral courage.

Character - We describe the character of a person in reference to moral judgments about the worthiness of a person. Thus, to have a strong, great or honorable character is to be a person of merit, worthy of admiration and honor.

We judge our own character by our best intentions and most noble acts, but we will be judged by our last worst act.

Success or failure can only be measured in terms of a particular objective. The success of a person whose life objective is money or status will look very different than the success of one who sets out to make a positive difference in the world.

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.

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

Don't ask whether it is going to be easy. Ask whether it is worth it.
