There is a saying in Tibetan that "at the door of the miserable rich man sleeps the contented beggar". The point of this saying is not that poverty is a virtue, but that happiness does not come with wealth, but from setting limits to one's desires, and living within those limits with satisfaction.

Hold faithfulness and sincerity as first principles.

Fine words and an insinuating appearance are seldom associated with true virtue.

To see what is right, and not to do it, is want of courage or of principle.

It is now, more than ever, necessary that political leaders be outstanding for honesty, integrity and commitment to the common good.

I think if you look at people, whether in business or government, who haven't had any moral compass, who've just changed to say whatever they thought the popular thing was, in the end they're losers.
