I like to see a man* proud of the place in which he
lives. I like to see a man live so his place will be proud of him. The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him
absolutely no good. It doesn't matter who you are or what you're doing, you must have ethics The moment we begin to fear the opinions of others and hesitate to
tell the truth that is in us, and from motives of policy are silent when we should speak,
the divine floods of light and life no longer flow into our souls. I'd rather be right than President. The night is far spent; the day draws near. Let us cast
off deeds of darkness and put on the armor or light. Let us live honorably, as in
daylight... True independence and freedom can only exist in doing what's right. If you really want to be happy, always try to do
what’s right. Moral cowardice that keeps us from speaking our minds is as dangerous to
this country as irresponsible talk. The right way is not always the popular
and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of
moral character. Honest measures and weights are the Lord's delight.
The imperative is to find what is right and to do it. A good character is the best tombstone. Those who
loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have
withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.
Hearts are the strongest when they beat in response to
noble ideals.
Don't be overwhelmed by decisions. Only consider the ethical ones - you'll find your options are much fewer
I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I
consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.
Always do right - this will gratify some and astonish the rest. Because we possess this ministry through God's mercy... we repudiate
shameful underhanded practices. We do not resort to trickery or falsify the word of God.
We proclaim the truth openly and commend ourselves to every man's conscience before God. The time is always right to do what is right. The
only thing you can never change is your values.
