Have You Done A Character Check?

"The depth of a person's character is not measured by his or her physical strength, but by the depth of his or her nobility. How do we treat those who are weaker?"

- Frank Peretti (The Wounded Spirit)

Watch Yourself

"Watch your thoughts; they become your words. Watch your words; they become your actions. Watch your actions; they become your habits. Watch your habits; they become your character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny."

- Anonymous

Character

"Character is much easier kept than recovered."

- Thomas Paine

Manly Men

"A manly man knows that this world is not his home and keeps his end in mind. He is ready to die, whether it be on a battlefield ten thousand miles away or a bed in the next room. And he knows that it isn’t the manner of death that defines him, but how that death is faced.

And maybe most of all, a manly man knows he will not always act like one. He knows that he is fallible and fallen, beaten and scarred. His mistakes and faults are many, and yet he owns them. He sees the darkness in his heart and yet chooses daily to stand in the light...."

- An excert from The Manly Man(ifesto) by Billy Coffey on the blog Hey Look, A Chicken! (Be sure to go and read the whole post.)

Don't Be Changed By The World

"People of character do right thing, not because they think it will change the world but because they refuse to be changed by world."

- Michael Josephson
