“Adulthood is knowing that a fully realized character is always more important than the lines.”
“Character is more important than rank. Loyalty is more important than wealth. And what the people who truly know you think, is more important than your status in the eyes of strangers.”
“To be fully human has little to do with always being the centre of attention, getting your way and having all your ambitions met. To be fully human is to be like Christ, to 'count others better than yourselves' (Phil 2:13)...It takes rare strength to treat others as more important than yourself.”
“Is it more important to understand than to obey? Is it more important to me to know than to believe?”
“And he realized... that fragile, mortal life wasn't just important to him. It was more important than his own.”
“The questions are always more important than the answers.”
