“Ethics is not about the way things are, it's about the way they ought to be.”

“Ethics is not a description of what people do; it's a prescription for what we all should do.”

“On a practical level, there are two vital steps to ethical behavior:knowing what is right and doing it.”

“The ethical person should do more then he is required to do, and less than he is allowed to.”

“When someone is nasty or treats you poorly, don't take it personally. It says nothing about you, but a lot about them.”

“Everything you do sends a message about who you are and what you value.”

“The difference between stepping stones and stumbling blocks is not in the event itself but how you think about it and what you do after it. Every failure and setback can become part of your success or an excuse for quitting or failing. People who develop the discipline of positivity are both happier and more successful.”
