character ideas people
The formation of character in young people is educationally a different task from, and a prior task to, the discussion of the great, difficult, ethical controversies of the day. First things first. And planting the ideas of virtue, of good traits in the young, comes first. In the moral life, as in life itself, we take one step at a time. Every field has its complexities and controversies. And so does ethics. And every field has its basics. So too with values. William Bennett

People of good character are not all going to come down on the same side of difficult political and social issues.

character thinking arrows
I don't think you need to watch Arrow and Flash to appreciate what it is Legends has to offer. The beauty of this show - and they do this on Flash, and they did this on Arrow - is that we do spend time on character. We do spend time on backstory. We do take a moment in between the sci-fi special effects to tell you who these people are, so that when something happens to them, you actually care.

character heart boys
I'd like to go back and revisit the Flash/Captain Cold relationship, because that to me has been the heart of it all along.

character boys night
A ghostly side note Soldier boy Miller played a Lucifer-like character in the final two episodes of Joan of Arcadia.

character exercise feelings
Imitation is for the most part so unconscious that its effects are almost unheeded, but its influence is not the less permanent on that account.

Yet even the weakest natures exercise some influence upon those about them. The approximation of feeling, thought, and habit is constant, and the action of example unceasing.

character opportunity thinking
Hamlet 's character is the prevalence of the abstracting and generalizing habit over the practical. He does not want courage, skill, will, or opportunity; but every incident sets him thinking; and it is curious, and at the same time strictly natural, that Hamlet, who all the play seems reason itself, should he impelled, at last, by mere accident to effect his object. I have a smack of Hamlet myself, if I may say so.
