The best way to teach character is to have it around the house.
"A righteous man who walks in integrity-
How blessed are his sons after him."
Proverbs 20:7
Every man is enthusiastic at times. One man has enthusiasm for forty-five minutes,
another has it for forty-five daysbut it is the man who has it for forty-five years
who makes a success in life.
"Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us."
