Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.
— Theodore Roosevelt

One last quote to consider…
“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Watch your words, for they become actions.
Watch your actions, for they become habits.
Watch your habits, for they become character.
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
