It's actually easier to truly become a person of good character than to persuade others we are what we are not.

Good character is more important than wealth, good looks, popularity and even education. These things do not guarantee happiness and often they become obstacles to developing good character.

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

Gratitude is not a payment for a kindness but another form of gift.

Pretty isn't beauty. Pretty is how you look; Beauty is who you are. Pretty is in the face and body; Beauty is in the heart, mind and soul. Pretty fades; Beauty grows.

The choices you make in your life will make your life. Choose wisely.

Never 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.
