Good character is the single most important attribute of a successful and worthy life.

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

If we don't invest now in building character into children we will surely invest more tomorrow in trying to repair adults.

Experimenting with drugs is like target practice where your head is the bull's-eye.

Don't ask whether it is going to be easy. Ask whether it is worth it.

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.

Some jobs require a more consistent challenge to moral courage than others. Politics is one. In such a setting terrifically good men and women will still be found wanting occasionally. No one does the right thing all the time. It would be more generous and fair to consider their batting average than to judge them only by their last worst act.
