It is not what you have made others believe about you that will count, but what you really are. In the searching turmoil of this age there will be tests that will out what is in us. And remember that there is no such thing as permanent frauds. You will finally do and say as you really are. Character is the sum total of qualities that distinguish you from other things and persons. It may be good or bad. Your character is what you are. The age with its growth of sense of the right and the emphasis upon the moral and religious is demanding real moral manhood. There are certain elements that are insisted upon more and more. Honesty, truthfulness, moral courage, high aim and sincerity in life. These are all elemental parts in any effective life.
– Charles T. Tally, Houston Post-Dispatch, Houston, TX, May 26, 1924
