Image
Don't sacrifice a good life for a good time.
Michael Josephson
Image
Neither heredity nor environment determine character. But whether we give in to or overcome the negative messages we are exposed to as we wend our way through life is often determined by whether our parents, teachers, mentors and friends exposed us to good examples and morally inspiring ideas.
Michael Josephson
Image
Gratitude is not a payment for a kindness but another form of gift.
Michael Josephson
Image
If we keep treating our most important values as meaningless relics, that's exactly what they'll become.
Michael Josephson
Image
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
Image
Character is both formed and revealed by how one deals with everyday situations as well as extraordinary pressures and temptations. Like a well-made tower, character is built stone by stone, decision by decision.
Michael Josephson
Image
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
Image
Don't confuse fun with fulfillment, or pleasure with happiness.
Michael Josephson
Image
Success in anything important rarely comes without the Five Horsemen of Success: planning, effort, positivity, perseverance and resilience.
Michael Josephson
Image
What will matter is not your competence, but your character. What will matter is not how many people you knew but how many will feel a lasting loss when you are gone. What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by who and for what?
Michael Josephson
Image
Success comes in cans. Failures comes in can'ts.
Michael Josephson
Image
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
Image
Never do anything for another with the expectation of gratitude. The expectation itself turns the gift into an exchange and suggests a debt is owed you.
Michael Josephson
Image
Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident. It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice. Choose to live a life that matters.
Michael Josephson
Image
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
Image
Our character is revealed by how we treat people who cannot help us or hurt us.
Michael Josephson
Image
Character is the moral strength to do the right thing even when it costs more than you want to pay.
Michael Josephson
Image
The key to success is effort. The bigger the goal, the greater the effort.
Michael Josephson
Image
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
Image
The ethical person should do more then he is required to do, and less than he is allowed to.
