A Man's Character

“A man's character is like his house. If he tears boards off his house and burns them to keep himself warm and comfortable, his house soon becomes a ruin. If he tells lies to be able to do the things he shouldn't do but wants to, his character will soon become a ruin. A man with a ruined character is
a shame on the face of the earth.”
- Ralph Moody, Little Britches: Father and I were Ranchers
