I believe that a life of integrity I the most fundamental source of personal worth. I do not agree with the popular success literature that says that self-esteem is primarily a matter of mind set, of attitude-that you can psych yourself into peace of mind. Peace of mind comes when your life is in harmony with true principles and values and in no other way.

Opposition is a natural part of life. Just as we develop our physical muscles through overcoming opposition - such as lifting weights - we develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and adversity.

Life is not accumulation, it is about contribution.

In the last analysis, what we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.

Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Some people achieve the top of the ladder and only then realise it was standing against the wrong wall.

The need to leave a legacy is our spiritual need to have a sense of meaning, purpose, personal congruence, and contribution.
