My concern today is not with the length of a person’s hair but with his conduct.

Real education enhances the dignity of a human being and increases his or her self-respect. If only the real sense of education could be realized by each individual and carried forward in every field of human activity, the world will be so much a better place to live in.

Wicked thoughts and worthless efforts gradually set their mark on the face, especially the eyes.

The only real security that a man can have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience and ability.

There was never yet fair woman but she made mouths in a glass.

Character is determined more by the lack of certain experiences than by those one has had.

Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs.

Nature gives you the face you have at twenty; it is up to you to merit the face you have at fifty.

Next to excellence is the appreciation of it.

The superpowers often behave like two heavily armed blind men feeling their way around a room, each believing himself in mortal peril from the other, whom he assumes to have perfect vision.

Maybe some people can wake up and play PlayStation all day, but that’s never been me.

When people are around us, they should leave better off than they were previously. Rather than feeling discouraged or defeated, people should feel challenged and inspired after spending any time with you and me.

The best is the enemy of the good.

Lenience will operate with greater force, in some instances than rigor. It is therefore my first wish to have all of my conduct distinguished by it.

I just want to be just as everyone else. I want to educate myself and be just like a normal teenager.

I’m just going to say it: I’m pro-guilt. Guilt is good. Guilt helps us stay on track because it’s about our behavior. It occurs when we compare something we’ve done – or failed to do – with our personal values.

I have goals.

Everybody has goals, aspirations or whatever, and everybody has been at a point in their life where nobody believed in them.

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you’re going to live your life.

A vote is like a rifle; its usefulness depends upon the character of the user.

In Hollywood a girl’s virtue is much less important than her hairdo.

Employ your time in improving yourself by other men’s writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for.

It is more difficult to rule yourself than to rule a city.

The highest activity a human being can attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free.

Honor means that a man is not exceptional; fame, that he is. Fame is something which must be won; honor, only something which must not be lost.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

One can know a man from his laugh, and if you like a man’s laugh before you know anything of him, you may confidently say that he is a good man.

I fear that too many have sadly surrendered their agency to the adversary and are saying by their conduct, ‚I care more about satisfying my own desires than I do about bearing the Savior’s power to bless others.‘

No one could have been nicer, classier nor better looking than Dick Clark. I’ve had a crush on him since I was a teenager.

It is my own firm belief that the strength of the soul grows in proportion as you subdue the flesh.

I think of myself more as a sportsman than I do an artist.

If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.

I know I want to always do the best I can.

People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

Character is always known. Thefts never enrich; alms never impoverish; murder will speak out of stone walls.

Once you begin to fall off the track and believe you breathe different air to everyone else, you’re doomed; you’re finished.

I think you’re working and learning until you die.

Good men by nature, wish to know. I know that many will call this useless work… men who desire nothing but material riches and are absolutely devoid of that of wisdom, which is the food and only true riches of the mind.

A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with – a man is what he makes of himself.

Not only must we be good, but we must also be good for something.

Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures.

Juvenile crime is not naturally born in the boy, but is largely due either to the spirit of adventure that is in him, to his own stupidity, or to his lack of discipline, according to the nature of the individual.

If women were particular about men’s characters, they would never get married at all.

I want to appeal to everyone. Because I’m not saying I’m the best, but we the best.

When I was 50 years old, I actually decided to draw up a list of half a dozen things that I really hadn’t done very well, and I was going to make efforts to improve. One of them was skiing, and I really did become a very much better skier.

Cultivation to the mind is as necessary as food to the body.

It is not God’s will merely that we should be happy, but that we should make ourselves happy.

If I can be a leader, I will.

So much of what we do every single day is the result of habits that we have formed over time.

If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

You have learnt something. That always feels at first as if you had lost something.

I believe the first test of a truly great man is in his humility.

Until you have formed the habit of looking for the good instead of the bad there is in others, you will be neither successful nor happy.

Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something.

Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

The unsuccessful person is burdened by learning, and prefers to walk down familiar paths. Their distaste for learning stunts their growth and limits their influence.

I’m odd looking. Sometimes I think I look like a funny muppet.

I don’t follow all the 48 laws. Like, I’ve never crushed anyone totally.

Anything I do, I want to do it well.

A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.

With realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.
