Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught. - J. C. Watts The fire you kindle for your enemy often burns yourself more than him. - Chinese Proverbs He will be loved when dead, who was envied when he was living. - Horace Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love. - William Shakespeare When the tide of misfortune moves over you, even jelly will break your teeth - Persian Proverbs Set your expectations high; find men and women whose integrity and values you respect; get their agreement on a course of action; and give them your ultimate trust - John Akers There are names written in her immortal scroll at which Fame blushes! - William Hazlitt I cannot say good-bye to those whom I have grown to love, for the memories we have made will last a lifetime and never know a good-bye - Anonymous All that makes existence valuable to any one depends on the enforcement of restraints upon the actions of other people. - John Stuart Mill There is the kiss of welcome and of parting, the long, lingering, loving, present one; the stolen, or the mutual one; the kiss of love, of joy, and of sorrow; the seal of promise and receipt of fulfillment. - Thomas C. Haliburotn He that loveth, flieth, runneth, and rejoiceth. He is free, and cannot be held in.

Pass it on; 'twas not given for thee alone, Pass it on; Let it travel down the years, Let it wipe another's tears, Till in Heaven the deed appears, Pass it on. - Henry Burton We write our own destiny; we become what we do. - Madame Chiang Kai-shek Our repeated failure to fully act as we would wish must not discourage us. It is the sincere intention that is the essential thing, and this will in time release us from the bondage of habits which at present seem almost insuperable. -Thomas Troward "Be more concerned with your character than with your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are.” ~ Dale Carnegie |
