Sylvia Jukes Morris (Price of Fame: The Honorable Clare Boothe Luce)
Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount.” —CLARE BOOTHE LUCE When things go wrong, when you experience sudden reversals and disappointments, your natural tendency will be to respond with negativity, fear, and anger. Whenever you feel hurt or threatened by loss or criticism, you react to protect yourself with the fight-or-flight response. As a leader, your first job is to take firm control over your mind and emotions, and then to take control over the situation, in that order. Leaders focus on the future, not the past. They focus on what can be done now to resolve the problem or improve the situation. They focus on what is under their control, their next decisions and actions. You must do the same.

Dee R. Edgeworth (The High Ground: Why Civic Virtue Matters to America)
So now we are ready to ask: In what direction can we say that Americans are going? Are we, as a people, going on the high road of universal morality or on the low road of universal immorality? The question is a crucial one for the future of our country. All history bears witness to the fact that there can be no public virtue without private morality. There can be no good government except in a good society. And there cannot be a good society unless the majority of the individuals in it are at least trying to be good people.
