Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the many things we have to be thankful for, not so we feel guilty about what we have that others don't, but to be genuinely grateful for our blessings.

More quotes by 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
If we keep treating our most important values as meaningless relics, that's exactly what they'll become.
Michael Josephson
People who fight fire with fire end up with only the ashes of their own integrity.
Michael Josephson
Neither the intensity of your feelings nor the certainty of your convictions is any assurance that you are right.
Michael Josephson
Go out there and do your part to change the world. You may not change all you had hoped but the world will be better for the caring demonstrated by your effort.
Michael Josephson
Don't confuse fun with fulfillment, or pleasure with happiness.
Michael Josephson
In life, we all get scored on every day. The wonderful thing is, if we do our best with courage and tenacity, we might be outscored but we can never be beaten.
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
If we don't invest now in building character into children we will surely invest more tomorrow in trying to repair adults.
Michael Josephson
There's no such thing as business ethics there's just ethics. And ethics makes no concessions for the real or imagined necessities of making a profit.
Michael Josephson
The ethical person should do more then he is required to do, and less than he is allowed to.
Michael Josephson
It is much more difficult to know what is fair than what is unfair
Michael Josephson
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
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
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
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
If you pay too much attention to your reputation, you could lose your character.
Michael Josephson
What a person says and does in ordinary moments when when no one is looking reveals more about true character than grand actions taken while in the spotlight. Our true character is revealed by normal, consistent, everyday attitudes and behavior, not by self-conscious words or deeds or rare acts of moral courage.
Michael Josephson
When it comes to building character, wealth, good looks, athletic ability and even a high IQ are more likely to be impediments than advantages.
Michael Josephson
At home, be grateful. At work, be appreciative. Gratitude is a gift we give ourselves. Appreciation is a gift we give to others.
Michael Josephson
