Character is ethics in action.

When someone is nasty or treats you poorly, don't take it personally. It says nothing about you, but a lot about them.

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

Ethics is doing more than the law requires and less than the law allows.

If we keep treating our most important values as meaningless relics, that's exactly what they'll become.

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

One of the greatest things about daughters is how they adored you when they were little; how they rushed into your arms with electric delight and demanded that you watch everything they do and listen to everything they say. Those memories will help you through less joyous times when their adoration is replaced by embarrassment or annoyance and they don't want you to see what they are doing or hear what they are saying. And yet, you will adore your daughter every day of her life, hoping to be valued again, but realizing how fortunate you were even if you only get what you already got.
