Echoes

If it is not right do not do it; if it is not true do not say it.

Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.

Don't explain your philosophy. Embody it.

Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing.

What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

My life is my message.

Without courage, wisdom bears no fruit.

The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.

When you have decided that a thing ought to be done and are doing it, never avoid being seen doing it, though many shall form an unfavorable opinion about it. For if it is not right, avoid doing the thing; but if it is right, why are you afraid of those who shall find fault wrongly?

It is always easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them.

Deeds, not words.

The sad truth of the matter is that most evil is done by people who never made up their minds to be or do either evil or good.

We have a given problem to solve. If we undertake the solution, there is, of course, always danger that we may not solve it aright; but to refuse to undertake the solution simply renders it certain that we cannot possibly solve it aright.

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.

Never stray from the Way.

Well done is better than well said.

For if he who resolveth bravely oftentimes falleth short, how shall it be with him who resolveth rarely or feebly?

The price of greatness is responsibility.

If you're afraid — don't do it. If you're doing it — don't be afraid.

Of a surety, at the Day of Judgment it will be demanded of us, not what we have read, but what we have done; not how well we have spoken, but how holily we have lived.

Idleness and lack of occupation tend — nay are dragged — towards evil.

Arise, begin this very moment, and say, “Now is the time to do: now is the time to fight, now is the proper time for amendment.”

Go forth in virtue!
