Young men and women are to build up a strong character. A nation's greatness was reflected in the character of the people. If it was sullied by selfishness, such a people could not prosper or achieve great things. Selfishness had its place in life as everyone had to look to his own needs and that of his family, but it could not made the be-all and end-all of life.

Nothing short of self-respect and that justice which is essential to a national character ought to involve us in war.

You can measure a man's character by the choices he makes under pressure.

The lessons of history, confirmed by the evidence immediately before me, show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the national fiber.

A man's true character comes out when he's drunk.

There must be recognition of the fact that national morality is as vital as private morality.
