Character Alone Abides

 

We must strive to realize every dream of goodness and Christ-likeness that our hearts dream. Remember it is character that is the only test, and the only true fruit, of living. It is not knowledge; for knowledge will fail. It is not money; for money cannot be carried away from earth. It is not fame; for fame's laurels fade at the grave's edge, and its voice gives no cheer in the valley of shadows. It is not culture or education or refinement it is life — not what we have or what we know, but what we are — that we can carry with us into the eternal world.
