Foreword


Preface


Introduction



Character is destiny



The unexamined life is not worth living



Character is what you are in the dark



The final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands



Character is higher than intellect



Excellence is habit



Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, fix your thoughts on such things



To enjoy things we ought to enjoy . . . has the greatest bearing on excellence of character



No one who desires to become good will become good unless he does good things



Example is not the main thing in life – it is the only thing



A man never describes his own character so clearly as when he describes another's



You can follow all the rules and still be unethical



Sow a thought, reap an act. Sow an act, reap a habit. Sow a habit, reap a character. Sow a character, reap a destiny



I have found who is responsible for our ethical poverty, and it is I. An Ethics
