A bold Christian is the highest style of a man.

We have all eternity to celebrate our victories, but only one short hour before sunset in which to win them.

Genuis is seldom recognized for what it is: a great capacity for hard work.

He is not great who is not greatly good.

Understanding is knowing what to do; wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is actually doing it.

Be great in little things.

Sow an act, and you reap a habit.  Sow a habit and you reap a character.  Sow a character and you reap a destiny.

The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent.  Most talents are, to some extent, a gift.  Good character, by contrast, is not given to us.  We have to build it, piece by piece – by thought, choice, courage, and determination.

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the realization that some things are more important than fear.
