Character, Integrity, and Conscience
Character is much easier kept than recovered. ~Thomas Paine

There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience. ~French Proverb

When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion. ~Abraham Lincoln

Quality means doing it right when no one is looking. ~Henry Ford

A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval. ~Mark Twain, "What Is Man?", 1906

Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world. ~George Bernard Shaw

Every time I've done something that doesn't feel right, it's ended up not being right. ~Mario Cuomo

Live in such a way that you would not be ashamed to sell your parrot to the town gossip. ~Will Rogers

It takes less time to do a thing right, than it does to explain why you did it wrong. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I forgot that every little action of the common day makes or unmakes character, and that therefore what one has done in the secret chamber one has some day to cry aloud on the house-tops. ~Oscar Wilde
