More quotes by Michael Josephson
There's some wisdom and no moral deficiency to one who holds courage in reserve and uses it as a last resort. Before we take the kind of risks that require courage, we ought to exhaust other less risky alternatives.
Michael Josephson
Some jobs require a more consistent challenge to moral courage than others. Politics is one. In such a setting terrifically good men and women will still be found wanting occasionally. No one does the right thing all the time. It would be more generous and fair to consider their batting average than to judge them only by their last worst act.
Michael Josephson
When was the last time you wrote a thank you note? When was the last time you went beyond a mechanical thank you to express authentic gratitude? We can enrich the lives of others and ourselves by making it a habit to express genuine appreciation for what others have done for us.
Michael Josephson
It is easier to be grateful for the things we have than to the people who have helped us get them.
Michael Josephson
What you allow you encourage.
Michael Josephson
To the barefoot man, happiness is a pair of shoes. To the man with old shoes, it's a pair of new shoes. To the man with new shoes, it's stylish shoes. And of course, the fellow with no feet would be happy to be barefoot. Measure your life by what you have not by what you don't.
Michael Josephson
We judge our own character by our best intentions and most noble acts, but we will be judged by our last worst act.
Michael Josephson
Don't sacrifice a good life for a good time.
Michael Josephson
You don't have to be sick to get better.
Michael Josephson
I think Samuel Johnson had it right when he observed that hope is itself a species of happiness. So if we want to be happy it only makes sense to discipline ourselves to choose our attitudes, to think positively and to be hopeful.
Michael Josephson
What will matter in the end is not what you bought but what you built not what you got but what you gave not what you learned by what you taught. What will matter is not your competence but your character.
Michael Josephson
A person is said to have good character when their habits, dispositions and conduct reflect a deep commitment to ethical virtues and moral principles.
Michael Josephson
Creating a child takes no love or skill being a parent requires lots of both.
Michael Josephson
A good coach improves your game. A great coach improves your life.
Michael Josephson
If you want to be happy, learn to be alone without being lonely. Learn that being alone does not mean being unhappy. The world is full of plenty of interesting and enjoyable things to do and people who can enrich your life.
Michael Josephson
Gratitude should be felt and experienced sincerely, expressed generously and received graciously.
Michael Josephson
Character is ethics in action.
Michael Josephson
Approach the New Year with resolve to find the opportunities hidden in each new day.
Michael Josephson
Take pride in how far you've come. Have faith in how far you can go. But don't forget to enjoy the journey.
Michael Josephson
Whether we want them or not, the New Year will bring new challenges whether we seize them or not, the New year will bring new opportunities.
Michael Josephson
