Character is ethics in action.

Surround our children with a message of honor

You are the captain of your own ship; don't let anyone else take the wheel.

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.

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.

It's a great joy but no test of love or commitment to take your son to a ball game. You really prove your credentials as a good dad when you are willing to take your daughter shopping - more than once.

When it comes to building character, wealth, good looks, athletic ability and even a high IQ are more likely to be impediments than advantages.
