“He is not apprehended by reason, but by life.”
Leo Tolstoy

“I realised that even a man’s reforming zeal ought not to make him exceed his limits. I also saw that in thus lending trust-money I had disobeyed the cardinal teaching of the Gita, viz., the duty of a man of equipoise to act without desire for the fruit.

Mahatma Gandhi

Martin Luther King Jr

John C. Maxwell

“Integrity is vitally important to our walk with God. People with integrity take responsibility for their actions. They keep their commitments instead of making excuses for not keeping them.

Joyce Meyer
