I never saw him in a passion, and never knew him to strike a slave, although he had over one hundred; neither would he allow an overseer to do it. Whenever any slaves were reported to him as stealing or “cutting up” badly, he would send for them and admonish them privately, and never mortify them by doing it before others.~ Paul Jennings Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.~ Jesus of Nazareth Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!~ Jesus of Nazareth What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?~ Jesus of Nazareth Never ruin an apology with an excuse.~ Kimberly Johnson Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.~ Dr. Samuel Johnson The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.~ Dr. Samuel Johnson It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives.~ Dr. Samuel Johnson There is no crime more infamous than the violation of truth. It is apparent that men can be social beings no longer than they believe each other. When speech is employed only as the vehicle of falsehood, every man must disunite himself from others, inhabit his own cave and seek prey only for himself.~ Dr. Samuel Johnson Count it the greatest sin to prefer life to honor, and for the sake of living to lose what makes life worth having.~ Juvenal It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably.~ Immanuel Kant Activate yourself to duty by remembering your position, who you are, and what you have obliged yourself to be.~ Thomas Kempis Integrity is the core of our character.~ L. Lionel Kendrick A man does what he must -- in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers -- and this is the basis of all human morality.~ John F. Kennedy Character is the accumulated confidence that individual men and women acquire from years of doing the right thing, over and over again, even when they don't feel like it. People with character understand that their lives are filled with events and choices that are significant, above all, not because of the short term success or failure of the search for money or position, but because the choices we make are actually making us into one kind of person, or another. Our life of choices is a life-long labor to make ourselves into a person who has begun to respond adequately to the awesome gift we received from God when He made us in His image.~ Alan Keyes Cowardice asks the question, is it safe? Expediency asks the question, is it politic? Vanity asks the question, is it popular? But conscience asks the question, is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it is right.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. ~ Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Previous 20 quotes Next 20 quotes Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
