Quote

We're often too entrenched in existing structures and are so primed to think that if we grew up with the values and the norms, they have to be correct.

If we really want to be full and generous in spirit, we have no choice but to trust at some level.

Everybody has values. Now, you know it may be formed in a secular setting, it may be formed in an intellectual setting, but everybody comes forward with values.

Values are more important than money.

When your values are clear to you, making decisions becomes easier.

Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others.

If you don't stick to your values when they're being tested, they're not values: they're hobbies.

That which we obtain too easily, we esteem too lightly.

People are wiser than we are willing to attribute to them.

There is a yearning for people to return to elementary moral virtues, such as integrity and commitment. We distrust people who have no centering of values. We greatly respect businessmen, for example, if they display those virtues, even if we don't necessarily agree with the people.
