One Liners on Character
 "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." -Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Character is the
manifestation of what you are becoming. Strong moral character results from
consistent correct choices in the trials and testing of life." -Elder
Richard G. Scott,
Ensign, May 2003, 77.
"That which comes easily departs
easily. That which comes of struggle remains."
-Gordon B. Hinckley
You talk about your troubles and
repeat them ore and ore,
The Lord might think you like them and give you even more!
"Our busy lives force us to focus on things we
do from day to day. But the development of character comes only as we focus on
who we really are. To establish and accomplish those greater goals, we
do need heavenly help." -Getting Where You Want to Go," New Era, May 2003, 6-7
To
change one's character you must begin at the control center - the heart.
"You
can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do
nothing for him." -James D. Miles
Your character is defined by
what you do, not what you say or believe.
"What
really matters is what happens IN us not TO us."
Good character requires doing
the right thing, even when it is costly or risky.
"Be more
concerned with your character than with your reputation,
because your character is what you really are, while your reputation
is merely what others think you are." -John Wooden, former
UCLA Basketball Coach. (From
Christianity Today)
What we do in our leisure time will make a
tremendous
difference in our upward flight toward eternal
life and exaltation.
