“Internal character: how you behave when no one is watching.”

You can’t be a successful leader or mentor until you have served. You can’t serve until you have stepped out of your comfort zone. And you can’t step out of your comfort zone unless you have character and keep your word.

Only by entering new and unfamiliar worlds can a person change society as well as self.

There is one possession that can never be taken away as long as you will not allow it to be taken, and that is your word.

In our community, we have a duty to strengthen the weakest among us to build a better society.

Players win games, and coaches win players.

We should feel grateful instead of entitled. We have a moral obligation to give back.

No matter how many good deeds we preform, they aren’t the ticket to earning God’s favor. God graces us in spite of what we do in this life, not because of.

Many men beg for a job but have no clue what hard work really means.

Recognize the remarkable individuals in your life who help you envision a world far beyond yourself.

The true measure of a person’s character is how one handles one’s failures, not successes.

As cruel as life might be at times, if you throw in the towel, which is what everyone will expect, then nothing good will happen and your life will fall apart. Be better than that!

A leader or mentor gives credit to others when things go right, and accepts the blame when things go wrong.

In the marathon of life, there is no finish line.

What builds character? It’s a commitment to integrity, hard work, honor and keeping your word. All of that comes straight out of the Sigma Nu Creed.

If everybody understood that you get back in spades what you put in in terms of service, not only will everybody’s lives be more fulfilling – I mean can you imagine a society look like that? I’m Bill Courtney and I share hope.

The measure of a man’s character is not determined by how he handles his wins, but how he handles his failures.

The more you understand how your salvation isn’t about your behavior, the more radically your behavior will change.

All I try to do is create an atmosphere that seems comfortable enough, that it removes tension and everyone feels free. If they feel free then behaviour happens, small moments happen and that’s what ultimately works the best for me.

Being judgmental about your own behavior is actually another cop-out because it makes you feel as though you’re doing something virtuous.

Human behavior is timeless.

How do you change your behavior? Change what you worship

Live so that you can at least get the benefit of the doubt.

The alcoholic and the drug addict harm only themselves by their behavior; the person who violates the rules of morality governing mans life in society harms not only himself, but everyone.

Suffering is nature’s way of indicating a mistaken attitude or way of behavior, and to the nonegocentric person every moment of suffering is the opportunity for growth. People should rejoice in suffering, strange as it sounds, for this is a sign of the availability of energy to transform their characters.
