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.

Surround our children with a message of honor

If you are the boss it's wise to remember that there are lots of things you don't know and lots of people who hope you won't find out.

To separate the purpose of a business from the purpose of people who are in the business is, I think, not a good thing.

There are two sure ways to fail: never get started and quit before you succeed. Many companies promote the language of risk-taking and innovation but are so concerned with short term profit goals that their culture discourages innovation (trying new things) and abandons promising projects too soon. It shouldn't require exceptional moral courage to try new things and stick with them.

Character is not only doing the right thing when no one is looking, it's doing the right thing when everyone is looking. It's being willing to do the right thing even when it costs more than you want to pay.

Good character is the single most important attribute of a successful and worthy life.
