We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals; others, by their acts.

We must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose.

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

Genuine sincerity opens people's hearts, while manipulation causes them to close.

The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
