Character grows in the soil of experience with the fertilization of example, the moisture of ambition, and the sunshine of satisfaction. Character cannot be purchased, bargained for, inherited, rented or imported from afar. It must be home-grown.

Yet all too often in the academic world, that's exactly what we do by not focusing on the character development of young people.
Stephen Covey
