Paine Precepts 

YOU MUST BE THE CHANGE YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD.

Mahatma Gandhi

KNOWING WHAT MUST BE DONE DOES AWAY WITH FEAR.

Rosa Parks

INTEGRITY IS WHAT WE DO, WHAT WE SAY, AND WHAT WE SAY WE DO.

Don Galer

INTEGRITY IS TELLING MYSELF THE TRUTH. AND HONESTY IS TELLING THE TRUTH TO OTHER PEOPLE.

Spencer Johnson

CHARACTER IS THE FOUNDATION STONE UPON WHICH ONE MUST BUILD TO WIN RESPECT. JUST AS NO WORTHY BUILDING CAN BE ERECTED ON A WEAK FOUNDATION, SO NO LASTING REPUTATION WORTHY OF RESPECT CAN BE BUILT ON A WEAK CHARACTER.
