Ordinary people, even weak people, can do extraordinary things through temporary courage generated by a situation. But the person of character does not need the situation to generate his courage. It is a part of his being and a standard approach to all life's challenges.
Michael JosephsonGood 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.
Michael JosephsonNever do anything for another with the expectation of gratitude. The expectation itself turns the gift into an exchange and suggests a debt is owed you.
