Courtesy, kindness, sincerity, truthfulness, thoughtfulness and
good manners translated into behavior reflect one's TRUE
character.
-- Harry F. Banks
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your greatness is measured by your kindness - Your education and
intellect by your modesty - Your ignorance is betrayed by your
suspicions and prejudices - Your REAL caliber is measured by the
consideration and tolerance you have for others.
-- William J. H. Boetcker

Every man's work, whether it be literature or music or pictures
or anything else, is always a portrait of HIMSELF, and the more
he tries to conceal himself the more clearly will his character
appear in spite of him.
-- Samuel Butler
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Character is the FOUNDATION stone upon which one must build to
win respect. Just as no worthy building can be erected on a
weak foundation, so no lasting reputation worthy of respect can
be built on a weak character. Without character, all effort to
attain dignity is superficial, and results are sure to be disappointing."
-- R. C. Samsel
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"To be worth anything, character must be capable of standing firm
upon its feet in the world of daily work, temptation and trial."
-- Samuel Smiles
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The law of harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act,
and you reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap character; sow
character and you reap destiny."
-- George D. Boardman
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"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."
-- John Wooden
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Within the character of the citizens lies the welfare of the republic."
-- Cicero
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Too often we live beyond our means trying to impress people who
live beyond their means to try to impress us."
-- Barbara Johnson
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Pay as little attention to discouragement as possible. Plow ahead as a steamer does, rough or smooth, rain or shine. To carry your cargo and make port is the point."
-- Barbara Johnson

CHILDREN LEARN WHAT THEY LIVE WITH
If a child lives with CRITICISM, he learns to CONDEMN.
If a child lives with HOSTILITY, he learns to FIGHT.
If a child lives with FEAR, he learns to be APPREHENSIVE.
If a child lives with PITY, he learns to feel SORRY FOR HIMSELF.
If a child lives with RIDICULE, he learns to be SHY.
If a child lives with JEALOUSY, he learns to feel GUILTY.
If a child lives with TOLERANCE, he learns to be PATIENT.
If a child lives with ENCOURAGEMENT, he learns to be CONFIDENT.
If a child lives with PRAISE, he learns to be APPRECIATIVE.
If a child lives with ACCEPTANCE, he learns to LOVE.
If a child lives with APPROVAL, he learns to LIKE HIMSELF.
If a child lives with RECOGNITION, he learns it is good to HAVE A
GOAL.
If a child lives with HONESTY, he learns what TRUTH is.
If a child lives with FAIRNESS, he learns JUSTICE.
If a child lives with SECURITY, he learns to have FAITH IN HIMSELF
and THOSE ABOUT HIM.
If a child lives with FRIENDLINESS, he learns that the WORLD IS A
NICE PLACE IN WHICH TO LIVE.
With what is your child living?
