- To be a gentleman is to be honest, to be gentle, to be generous, to be brave, to be wise, and possessing all those qualities to exercise them in the most graceful outward manner.
- True dignity is never gained by place, and never lost when honors are withdrawn.
- True glory takes root, and even spreads; all false pretences, like flowers, fall to the ground; nor can any counterfeit last long.
- Trust in that man's promise who dares to refuse that which he fears he cannot perform.
- Uncompromising integrity of character is invaluable.
- Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.Albert EinsteinSourced

- When the million applaud you, seriously ask yourself what harm you have done; when they censure you, what good.
- When you're part of a team, you stand up for your teammates. Your loyalty is to them. You protect them through good and bad, because they'd do the same for you.

- Who is honored? He who honors others
- You must be respectable, if you will be respected.
