Words of Wisdom on Character

Reputation is what people think you are; character is what God knows you are. Circumstances never create character; they merely reveal it.

The Art of Being Happy

Happiness is not in our circumstance but in ourselves. It is not something we see, like a rainbow, or feel, like the heat of a fire. Happiness is something we are. —John B. Sheerin (1906–1992)

It is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and I pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous. –Benjamin Franklin

Smile!

What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. They are but trifles, to be sure, but scattered along life’s pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.

Enthusiasm Makes the Difference!

Enthusiasm is the all-essential human jet propellant. It is the driving force which elevates men to miracle workers. It begets boldness, courage; kindles confidence; overcomes doubts. It creates endless energy, the source of all accomplishment.
