Michael Josephson

Beware of people who constantly assert their integrity and honor. People of character don’t have to point it out.

Michael Josephson

Character is both formed and revealed by how one deals with everyday situations as well as extraordinary pressures and temptations. Like a well-made tower, character is built stone by stone, decision by decision.

Michael Josephson

Character is ethics in action.

Michael Josephson

Discipline yourself to start each day identifying something to be grateful about. The world opens to those who approach it with a grateful heart.

Michael Josephson

Don’t confuse fun with fulfillment, or pleasure with happiness.

Michael Josephson

Don’t do anything today that will darken tomorrow.

Michael Josephson

Ethics doesn’t require us to ignore our self-interests or demand a life of self-sacrifice. It requires that we know the difference between what we want and what we should do.

Michael Josephson

Everything you do sends a message about who you are and what you value.

Michael Josephson

Gratefulness is a payment everyone can afford.

Michael Josephson

Ideas without action are like beautifully gift wrapped boxes with nothing inside.
