Article Summary : Vitamins for the Mind: Quotes about values. The quotes included in each section of Vitamins for the Mind are excerpted in their entirety from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn, America's foremost business philosopher.
The major value in life is not what you get. The major value in life is what you become. That is why I wish to pay fair price for every value. If I have to pay for it or earn it, that makes something of me. If I get it for free, that makes nothing of me.
All values must be won by contest, and after they have been won, they must be defended.
Don't sell out your virtue and your value for something you think you want. Judas got the money, but he threw it all away and hung himself because he was so unhappy with himself.
Values were meant to be costly. If it doesn't cost much, we probably wouldn't appreciate the value.
Count the cost first. Don't pay too big a price for pursuing minor values.
Reputation
Each of us must be committed to maintaining the reputation of all of us. And all of us must be committed to maintaining the reputation of each of us.
Accuracy builds credibility.
The Bible gives us a list of human stories on both sides of the ledger. One list of human stories is used as examples – do what these people did. Another list of human stories is used as warnings - don't do what these people did. So if your story ever gets in one of these books, make sure they use it as an example, not a warning.
It only takes one lie to taint your entire testimony in a court of law. Honesty is a vital part of having a good reputation.
