VALUES


Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work .
William Arthur Ward


“Tell me what you pay attention to and I will tell you who you are.” 
― José Ortega y Gasset

“Your time is way too valuable to be wasting on people that can't accept who you are.” 
― Turcois Ominek

“It's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.”  
― Roy Disney 

Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury - to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for everyone, best for both the body and the mind.”  
― Albert Einstein

“Don't let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth - don't let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency.” 
― Aesop

“If you're honest, you sooner or later have to confront your values. Then you're forced to separate what is right from what is merely legal. This puts you metaphysically on the run. America is full of metaphysical outlaws.” 
― Tom Robbins 

Forgive yourself for the blindness that put you in the path of those who betrayed you. Sometimes a good heart doesn’t see the bad.


“Values aren't buses... They're not supposed to get you anywhere. They're supposed to define who you are.”  
― Jennifer Crusie

“It is easier to tell a person what life is not, rather than to tell them what it is. A child understands weeds that grow from lack of attention, in a garden. However, it is hard to explain the wild flowers that one gardener calls weeds, and another considers beautiful ground cover.” 
― Shannon L. Alder 

“Find people who share your values, and you'll conquer the world together.” 
― John Ratzenberger

We are all born as empty vessels which can be shaped by moral values. 
Jerry Springer
