"It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered." |
"Character is the accumulated confidence that individual men and women acquire from years of doing the right thing, over and over again, even when they don't feel like it. People with character understand that their lives are filled with events and choices that are significant, above all, not because of the short term success or failure of the search for money or position, but because the choices we make are actually making us into one kind of person, or another. Our life of choices is a life-long labor to make ourselves into a person who has begun to respond adequately to the awesome gift we received from God when He made us in His image." |
"Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed." |

"Dignity does not come in possessing honors, but in deserving them." |
"A good end cannot sanctify evil means; nor must we ever do evil, that good may come of it." |

"The eyes of the world being thus on our Country, it is put the more on its good behavior, and under the greater obligation also, to do justice to the Tree of Liberty by an exhibition of the fine fruits we gather from it." |
"There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit." |
"...Virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor, my friend, and this alone that renders us invincible. These are the tactics we should study. If we lose these, we are conquered, fallen indeed...so long as our manners and principles remain sound, there is no danger." |
