Every person you meet knows something you don’t; learn from them.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Quotes
Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.
