The best index to a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back.
Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.
Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands.

Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth....
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." -Frank Herbert, Dune, "Litany Against Fear", 1965
