"A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue."
Daniel Webster
"A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle."
Benjamin Franklin
"A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue, but moderation in principle is always a vice."
Thomas Paine
"All virtue is summed up in dealing justly."
Aristotle
"Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well."
Francois Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
"Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries."
James Michener
"Character is much easier kept than recovered."
Thomas Paine
"Character is what you are in the dark."
John Whorfin
"Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them."
Aristotle
"Duties are not performed for duty's sake, but because their neglect would make the man uncomfortable. A man performs but one duty - the duty of contenting his spirit, the duty of making himself agreeable to himself."
Mark Twain
"Everyone feels benevolent if nothing happens to be annoying him at the moment."
C.S. Lewis
"Few men have virtue to withstand the highest bidder."
George Washington
"Forgiveness is the fragrance that the violet sheds on the heal that has crushed it."
Mark Twain
"He that is kind is free, though he is a slave; he that is evil is a slave, though he be a king."
Saint Augustine
"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
"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
"Humility is the foundation of all the other virtues hence, in the soul in which this virtue does not exist there cannot be any other virtue except in mere appearance."
Saint Augustine
"I cannot love anyone if I hate myself. That is the reason why we feel so extremely uncomfortable in the presence of people who are noted for their special virtuousness, for they radiate an atmosphere of the torture they inflict on themselves. That is not a virtue but a vice."
Carl Jung
"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
"I have learned silence from the talkative, tolerance from the intolerant and kindness from the unkind."
Kahlil Gibran
