"Sound character provides the power with which..." - Quote by Og Mandino

“Failure is... the highway to success.”

“If the ingredients for happiness are not within a person, no material success or entertainment or platinum credit cards can make that person smile.”

“Remember that the most difficult tasks are consummated, not by a single explosive burst of energy or effort, but by the constant daily application of the best you have within you.”

“The virtues of a superior man are like the wind; the virtues of a common man are like the grass; the grass, when the wind passes over it, bends.”

“It's true that charisma can make a person stand out for a moment, but character sets a person apart for a lifetime.”

“There is nothing by which men display their character so much as in what they consider ridiculous... Fools and sensible men are equally innocuous. It is in the half fools and the half wise that the great danger lies.”

“The nonviolence I teach is active nonviolence of the strongest. But the weakest can partake in it without becoming weaker.”

“The athlete who is building muscles though weight training should be very sure to work adequately on speed and flexibility at the same time. In combat, without the prior attributes, a strong man will be like the bull with its colossal strength futilely pursuing the matador or like a low-geared truck chasing a rabbit.”

“When we are motivated by compassion and wisdom, the results of our actions benefit everyone, not just our individual selves or some immediate convenience. When we are able to recognize and forgive ignorant actions of the past, we gain strength to constructively solve the problems of the present.”
