When people seriously undertake to identify what really matters most to them in their lives, what they really want to be and do, they become very reverent. They start to think in larger terms than today and tomorrow.

The character ethic, which I believe to be the foundation of success, teaches that there are basic principles of effective living, and that people can only experience true success and enduring happiness as they learn and integrate these principles into their basic character.

Principle-centered people are constantly educated by their experiences.

The more deeply you understand other people, the more you will appreciate them, the more reverent you will feel about them. To touch the soul of another human being is to walk on holy ground.

An abundance mentality springs from internal security, not from external rankings, comparisons, opinions, possessions, or associations.

Trust is clearly a key competency. A competency or skill that can be learned, taught, and improved and one that talent can be screened for.

People don't listen to understand. They listen to reply. The collective monologue is everyone talking and no one listening.
