Confidence... thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live.
This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
Stand with anybody who stands right. Stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong.
It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.
