520 | _a"An inescapable truth lies at the heart of this simple yet profound book: The quality of our lives is not determined by the happenstance of genetics or by the influence of environment; it is not measured in material possessions or in the trappings of youth; it is not dependent on personality or social acclaim. On the contrary, the intrinsic value of the lives we lead reflects the strength of a single trait; our personal Character. Character Is Destiny, a sort of self-help guide for the soul, shows how we can lead richer lives simply by being better people."--Jacket flap. | ||

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. | |
