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
Physical courage to a person of honour is easier and less risky than acts that could subject him to embarrassment or humiliation or a diminished career or reputation. These things he must live with. To die for honor is an easier thought to bear.
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
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
Character refers to dispositions and habits that determine the way that person normally responds to desires, fears, challenges, opportunities, failures and successes.
Michael Josephson
Image
It isn't the absence of conscience or values that prevents us from being all we should be, it is simply the lack of moral courage.

Image
Surround our children with a message of honor
Michael Josephson
Image
It is easier to be grateful for the things we have than to the people who have helped us get them.
Michael Josephson
Image
Gratitude is most treasured when it is unexpected. When we expect, even demand gratitude, we treat it simply as payment due for some service we rendered and we squeeze any good feeling out of it.
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
What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.
Michael Josephson
Image
Gratitude should be felt and experienced sincerely, expressed generously and received graciously.
Michael Josephson
Image
Whatever you do, make a difference. Earn the right to look back at something and say, 'I did that.'
Michael Josephson
Image
The opposite of success is not failure. Unsuccessful efforts are not failures unless they so discourage you that you abandon further efforts to achieve your goal. Even then, the venture or effort may be a failure but you are not. Failure is an event not a character trait.
Michael Josephson
Image
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
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
Pretty isn't beauty. Pretty is how you look Beauty is who you are. Pretty is in the face and body Beauty is in the heart, mind and soul. Pretty fades Beauty grows.

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.
