I am different from Washington. I have a higher, grander standard of principle. Washington could not lie. I can lie, but I won’t. – Mark Twain, author, humorist (1835-1910)

If there is light in the soul,
There will be beauty in the person.
If there is beauty in the person,
There will be harmony in the house.
If there is harmony in the house,
There will be order in the nation.
If there is order in the nation,
There will be peace in the world.
– Chinese proverb

– William Lloyd Garrison, journalist, abolitionist (1805-1879)

A person of character values honesty and integrity and pays whatever price is needed to be worthy of trust.
– Michael Josephson
