Character and Comfort
But whenever we had to choose between character and comfort,
the character-building was lost in the dust of our chase after what
we thought was happiness. Seldom did we look at character-building
as something desirable in itself, something we would like to strive for
whether our instinctual needs were met or not.
- Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, (Step Seven) p. 72
Thought to Ponder . . .
Character is what I am; reputation is what people think I am.
