Sometimes the dues we pay to maintain integrity are pretty high, but the ultimate cost of moral compromise is so much higher.

Beware of people who constantly assert their integrity and honor. People of character don't have to point it out.

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

There is no adversity that cannot be overcome by good character.

Honesty doesn't always pay, but dishonesty always costs.

Gratitude is a feeling not statement. It is so easy to say we are grateful that I often don't stop to really, really take the time to experience gratitude. Saying the words doesn't mean a thing without the feeling and it takes a moment of genuine reflection to summon that feeling. This Thanksgiving don't shortchange yourself with hollow words.

Character is the moral strength to do the right thing even when it costs more than you want to pay.
