Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike. Theodore Roosevelt

An excellent man, like precious metal, is in every way invariable; a villain, like the beams of a balance, is always varying, upwards and downwards. John Locke

It is the integrity of character, the spirit of Christ, that makes him thankful, unselfish, without partiality and without hypocrisy — it is this that is of value with God.
