Real
success requires respect for and faithfulness to the highest
human values--honesty, integrity, self-discipline, dignity,
compassion, humility, courage, personal
responsibility, courtesy, and human
service.
-Michael
DeBakey

|
If
one benefits tangibly from the exploitation of others who
are weak,
is one morally implicated in their predicament? Or are
basic
rights of human existence confined to the civilized
societies that
are wealthy enough to afford them? Our values are
defined by
what we will tolerate when it is done to
others. -William
Greider
|
| |
| Without
commonly shared and widely entrenched moral values
and obligations, neither the law, nor democratic government,
nor even the market economy will function
properly. -Vaclav
Havel |
| |
|
When you know what your values are,
making decisions becomes
easier. -Glenn van Eckeren
|
| |
| Money should never
be separated from values. Detached from
values it may indeed be the root of all evil. Linked
effectively
to social purpose it can be the root of
opportunity. -Rosabeth Moss Kanter
|
| |
| The
hope of free people in a frightened world is the values
which people put ahead of inventions when their backs are
to the wall. These values are beauty, truth, goodness
and
having a faith, all of which are
bombproof. -Ralph
W. Sockman
|
| |
| We can tell our values by looking at our
checkbook stubs. -Gloria Steinem |
|
|
|
| The longer we live the more we think and the
higher the value
we put on friendship and tenderness towards parents and
friends. -Samuel Johnson
|
| |
| Our
society's values are being corrupted by advertising's
insistence
on the equation: Youth equals popularity, popularity
equals success, success equals happiness.
-John
Arbuthnot Fisher |
| |
| Some
values are. . . like sugar on the doughnut, legitimate,
desirable, but insufficient, apart from the doughnut itself.
We need substance as well as
frosting. -Ralph
T. Flewelling
|
| |
| Values
are principles and ideas that bring meaning to
the seemingly mundane experience of life. A meaningful
life that ultimately brings happiness and pride requires
you to respond to temptations as well as challenges
with honor, dignity, and
courage. -Laura
Schlesinger
|
| |
| The
life of the individual has meaning only insofar as it aids
in
making the life of every living thing nobler and more
beautiful.
Life is sacred, that is to say, it is the supreme value,
to which all other values are
subordinate. -Albert
Einstein |
| |
| The values by which
we are to survive are not rules for just and unjust
conduct, but are those deeper illuminations in whose
light justice and injustice, good and evil, means
and ends are seen in fearful sharpness of outline.
-Jacob Bronowski
|
| |
|
|
| |
| Two things fill my mind with ever-increasing wonder and
awe:
the starry heavens above me and the moral law within
me. -Immanuel Kant |
| |
| Values are like fingerprints.
Nobody's are the
same, but you leave 'em all over everything you
do. -Elvis Presley |
| |
| Don't
let your special character and values, the secret that
you know and no one else does, the truth--don't let that get
swallowed up by the great chewing
complacency. -Aesop
|
| |
| We
want our children to become warm, decent human beings who
reach out generously to those in need. We hope they
find values
and ideals to give their lives purpose so they contribute to
the world
and make it a better place because they have lived in
it. Intelligence,
success, and high achievement are worthy goals, but they
mean nothing
if our children are not basically kind and loving
people. -Neil Kurshan
|
| |
| Every
time a value is born, existence takes on a new meaning;
every time one dies, some part of that meaning passes away.
-Joseph
Wood Krutch
|
| |
| Authentic
values are those by which a life
can be lived, which can form a people
that produces great deeds and
thoughts. -Allan
Bloom |
| |
|
It has been surprising to see how often
people do not realize that their deepest values are as
personal as their fingerprints. Not knowing this, many
of us have sacrificed certain things in order to have other
things that we have been told are more important. Some
of the things we have let go of in order to be seen as
successful may be far more important to us personally in the
end than some of the things we have held on to or even
fought for. Sometimes it takes a wake-up call like
cancer to bring us back to ourselves. The crisis of
illness may shake us free of the life that we have created
and allow us to begin a return to the life that is our
own. Often what then turns out to be important is not
a surprise at all. One patient, a CEO diagnosed with
cancer, told me, "I always knew what mattered. I
just never felt entitled to live by it before."
-Rachel Naomi Remen

If
we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting
values,
we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities,
and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in
which each diverse gift will find a fitting place.
-Margaret
Mead |
|
|
|
Love
is the expression
of one's values, the
greatest reward you
can earn for the moral
qualities you have
achieved in your
character
and person, the
emotional price paid
by one person for the
joy
he or she receives
from the virtues of
another. -Ayn
Rand |
|
|
|
If we are to go forward,
we must go back and rediscover
those precious values--that all reality hinges on moral
foundations and that all reality has spiritual control.
-Martin
Luther King, Jr. |
|
|
|
The hero is the person
dedicated to the creation and/or
defense of reality-conforming, life-promoting values.
-Andrew Bernstein

Values
provide perspective in the best of times and the
worst. -Charles
