He that has light within his own clear breast may sit in the center, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts benighted walks under the mid-day sun;

I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
King Jr. Martin Luther

20.
Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.
Landers, Ann

Proverb, Chinese

23.

Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert

32.
They attack the one man with their hate and their shower of weapons. But he is like some rock which stretches into the vast sea and which, exposed to the fury of the winds and beaten against by the waves, endures all the violence
Virgil

38.
Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.
Elmer G. Letterman

39.
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
