To gain that which is worth having, it may be necessary to lose everything else.

We can tell our values by looking at our checkbook stubs.

A gentleman is a man who can play the accordian but doesn't.

Champions take responsibility. When the ball is coming over the net, you can be sure I want the ball.

Keep in mind that the true meaning of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.

I cannot believe that the purpose of life is to be "happy." I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible, to be honorable, to be compassionate. It is, after all, to matter: to count, to stand for something, to have made some difference that you lived at all.

A human being has no discernible character until he acts.

Personality has the power to open many doors, but character must keep them open.

Character is higher than intellect. Thinking is the function; living is the functionary.

Our character is but the stamp on our souls of the free choices we have made through life.
