Character

When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character

Dreams are the touchstones of our character

Judge of your natural character by what you do in your dreams

A man of courage is also full of faith

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value

A man's true state of power and riches is to be in himself

Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control; these three alone lead one to sovereign power

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power

Character is power

It is the nature of the wise to resist pleasures, but the foolish to be a slave to them

To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent that is to triumph over old age

Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues

I do not regard a broker as a member of the human race

Peace is rarely denied to the peaceful

A good reputation is more valuable than money

A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It's jolted by every pebble on the road

Down on your knees, and thank heaven, fasting, for a good man's love

Tell me who admires and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.

If you press me to say why I loved him, I can say no more than because he was he, and I was I.
