None of us see the world as it is but as we are, as our frames of reference, or maps, define the territory.

When you make a commitment to yourself, do so with the clear understanding that you're pledging your integrity.

When it comes to developing character strength, inner security and unique personal and interpersonal talents and skills in a child, no institution can or ever will compare with, or effectively substitute for, the home's potential for positive influence.

Each of us tends to think we see things as they are, that we are objective. But this is not the case. We see the world, not as it is, but as we are - or as we are conditioned to see it.

To be successful we must live from our imaginations, not from our memories.

It is futile to put personality ahead of character, to try to improve relationships with others before improving ourselves.

We are product of neither nature nor nurture; we are a product of choice, because there is always a space between stimulus and response. As we wisely exercise our power to choose based on principles, the space will become larger.
