What will matter in the end is not what you bought but what you built; not what you got but what you gave; not what you learned by what you taught. What will matter is not your competence but your character.

Character is ethical and moral strength. People of good character have the moral awareness and strength to know the good, love the good and do the good.

Ethics is not for wimps. It's not easy being a good person. That's why it's such a lofty goal and an admirable achievement

If you want to be happy, learn to be alone without being lonely. Learn that being alone does not mean being unhappy. The world is full of plenty of interesting and enjoyable things to do and people who can enrich your life.

Discipline yourself to start each day identifying something to be grateful about. The world opens to those who approach it with a grateful heart.

There's a hole in the moral ozone and it's getting bigger.

Someone who lies for you will also lie to you. The occasional benefit your business may gain from a successful deception or concealment is always outweighed by the encouragement it provides to those willing to risk trust for success.
