Character

Circumstances don't make the man, they only reveal him to himself.

Difficulties are things that show a person what they are.

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

A man's worth is no greater than his ambitions.

A person's worth is measured by the worth of what he values.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

If it is not right, do not do it; if it is not true, do not say it.

Perfection of character is this: to live each day as if it were your last, without frenzy, without apathy, without pretense.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

Whatever anyone does or says, I must be emerald and keep my color.

If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you're needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person.
