Character

“Implicit in the word ‘character’ is a story. It is a story about living for a purpose that is greater than the self. Though this purpose resides deeply within, its origins are outside the self and so it beckons one forward, channeling one’s passions to mostly quiet acts of devotion, heroism, sacrifice, and achievement. … For parents and other adults the task of ‘saving our children’ means, in large part, telling children what they are being saved for.” —James Davison Hunter
