To live a life of virtue, match up your thoughts, words, and deeds.
Keep putting out good. It will come back to you tenfold in unexpected ways.
Humility is dependence on God as pride is independence of Him. The humble soul is always the thankful soul.
You must remember to love people and use things, rather than to love things and use people.
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.
Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions.
Silver is of less value than gold, gold than virtue.
It is not the strength of the body that counts, but the strength of the spirit.
Who sows virtue reaps honor.
Honor your commitments with integrity.
Remind oneself continually of those who practiced virtue in days gone by.
Be content to seem what you really are.
Never value anything as profitable to thyself which shall compel thee to break thy promise, to lose thy self-respect, to hate any man, to suspect, to curse, to act the hypocrite, to desire anything which needs walls and curtains.
The perfection of moral character consists in this, in passing every day as the last, and in being neither violently excited nor torpid nor playing the hypocrite.
We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne.
God didn’t call me to be successful, He called me to be faithful.
Listen in silence because if your heart is full of other things you cannot hear the voice of God.
Truly great people in history never wanted to be great for themselves. All they wanted was the chance to do good for others and be close to God.
Tolerance is a cheap, low-grade parody of love. Tolerance is not a great virtue to aspire to. Love is much tougher and harder.
The greatest rewards come when you give of yourself. It’s about bettering the lives of others, being part of something bigger than yourself, and making a positive difference.
