Part 2 The Foundation of All Good Relationship

“A good character is something you make for yourself. It cannot be inherited from parents. It cannot be created by having extraordinary advantages. It isn’t a gift of birth, wealth, talents or station. It is a result of your own endeavour. It is the reward that comes from living good principles and manifesting a virtuous and honourable life”. L Tom Perry
