"There is no act, however virtuous, for which ingenuity may not find some bad motive."
Thomas Jefferson
"Prosperity is the measure or touchstone of virtue, for it is less difficult to bear misfortune than to remain uncorrupted by pleasure."
Tacitus

Carl Jung
"I have learned silence from the talkative, tolerance from the intolerant and kindness from the unkind."

James Michener

C.S. Lewis
"How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of goodwill! In such a place even I would be an ardent patriot."
Albert Einstein

Joseph Addison
"I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do. That is character!"
Theodore Roosevelt
"It is only our bad temper that we put down to being tired or worried or hungry; we put our good temper down to ourselves."
C.S. Lewis
"The best index to a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back."
Abigail Van Buren
"There is no joy in life like the joy of sharing."
Billy Graham
"How selfish soever man may be supposed, there are evidently some principles in his nature, which interest him in the fortune of others, and render their happiness necessary to him, though he derives nothing from it, except the pleasure of seeing it."
Adam Smith
"No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe, as from our own. Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness."
Reinhold Niebuhr
"Character is what you are in the dark."
John Whorfin
"A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue."
Daniel Webster
