To pity distress is but human; to relieve it is Godlike.

A rich man without charity is a rogue; and perhaps it would be no difficult matter to prove that he is also a fool.

Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted

Nothing endures but personal qualities.

We falsely attribute to men a determined character - putting together all their yesterdays - and averaging them - we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support - it is worse than a large family - he is the silent poor indeed.

It is possible that the scrupulously honest man may not grow rich so fast as the unscrupulous and dishonest one; but success will be of a truer kind, earned without fraud or injustice. And even though a man should for a time be unsuccessful, still he must be honest; better to lose all and save character. For character is itself a fortune.

Character is the foundation stone upon which one must build to win respect. Just as no worthy building can be erected on a weak foundation, so no lasting reputation worthy of respect can be built on a weak character.

Character is much easier kept than recovered.

Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work

They are slaves who fear to speak,<br>For the fallen and the weak.
