Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconcious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character...

Habit is the intersection of knowledge (what to do), skill (how to do), and desire (want to do).

Public behavior is merely private character writ large.

You can’t talk your way out of what you’ve behaved yourself into.

The character ethic, which I believe to be the foundation of success, teaches that there are basic principles of effective living, and that people can only experience true success and enduring happiness as they learn and integrate these principles into their basic character.

The place to begin building any relationship is inside ourselves, inside our circle of influence, our own character.
