"Most of us thought good character was desirable. Obviously, good character was something one needed to get on with the business of being self-satisfied. Without a proper display of honesty and morality, we'd stand a better chance of getting what we really wanted. But whenever we had to choose between character and comfort, character building was lost in the dust of our chase after what we thought was happiness.
Seldom did we look at character-building as something desirable in itself. We never thought of making honesty, tolerance, and true love of man and God the basis of living.
How to translate a right mental conviction into a right emotional result, and so into easy, happy and good living is the problem of life itself."
