“A person of “good character” was one who acted in accordance with the expectations of his community”

“A person acts according to the knowledge internalized in his heart.”

“A promise is only as good as the person who makes it. The character of the promiser is what gives the promise its value. His promises are meant to ignite faith and expectation and desire, and then to point us to Him. His promises act to bind our hearts to His. His promises turn our eyes toward Him. When our hearts are occupied with who He is, it will not be hard to believe what He promises to do. The revelation of His person is the secret to trusting His promises.”

“One who comprehends truth is wise, one who loves it good, one who orders his life in accordance with it happy.”

“The characters have their own lives and their own logic, and you have to act accordingly.”

“Every one of us has in himself a continent of undiscovered character. Happy is he who acts the Columbus to his own soul. ”
