Character

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

 

Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.

 

 

 

Character is like a tree, and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

 

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.

 

A mistake is simply another way of doing things.

 

Discipline is the bridge between goals and Accomplishment.

Courage

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

 

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

 

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

 

Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

 

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is.

 

Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.

Wisdom

Honesty is the First Chapter in The Book of Wisdom.

 

By Three Methods we may Learn Wisdom: First, by Reflection, which is Noblest; Second, by Imitation, which is Easiest; and Third by Experience, which is the Bitterest.

 

If you Talk to a Man in a Language he Understands, That Goes to His Head. If you Talk to Him in His Language, That Goes to His Heart.

 

Wisdom is the Reward you get for a Lifetime of Listening when you'd have Preferred to Talk.

 

Wisdom, Compassion, and Courage are the Three Universally Recognized Moral Qualities of Men.

 

True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing.

 

God Sitting in the Temple of Every Human Body,

The Moment I Have Realized God Sitting in the Temple of Every Human Body, The Moment I Stand in Reverence Before Every Human Being And See God in Him - That Moment I am free from Bondage, Every Thing That Binds Vanishes, And I Am Free.

Assets
Even when we have tried and failed,
we may chalk it up as one of the greatest credits of all.
Under these conditions, the pains of failure are converted into assets.
