Tell me who admires and loves you, and I will tell you who you are. There is a transcendent power in example. We reform others unconsciously when we walk uprightly. Charms strike the sight, but merit wins the soul. Knowledge will give you power, but character respect. God will not look you over for medals, degrees or diplomas but for scars. Fame is something which must be won; honor, only something which must not be lost. It is not wealth but character that lasts. Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at. A great man is hard on himself; a small man is hard on others. Never trust a man who speaks well of everybody.
