Bad Company Corrupts Good Character – Wisdom Unplugged

Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is day 477 of our trek, and it is Thursday and time for our 3-minute mini-trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little additional content for today’s trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom each Tuesday and Thursday. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget.

Today’s quote is from Arthur S. Adams, who says, “Good character is the quality which makes one dependable whether being watched or not. Which makes one truthful when it is to one’s advantage to be a little less than truthful. Which makes one courageous when faced with great obstacles. Which endows one with the firmness of wise self-discipline.”

What do you think of when you hear that a person has good character? As this quote stipulates, it is a person who is dependable, truthful, courageous, and self-disciplined. This is the type of person who has a moral backbone, one whose life is built on a foundation of integrity.

To have this solid foundation of integrity is the bedrock of a person with good character. A foundation that will withstand any temptation or obstacle regardless of how hard the winds of adversity may blow against them. We are reminded in the Bible that it is imperative to choose wisely who we invest time with. 1 Corinthians 15:33 states, “Don’t be fooled by those who say such things, for ‘bad company corrupts good character.'”

That’s a wrap for today’s Wisdom Unplugged quote. If you would like access to my database of over 10,000 inspirational quotes, the link is available on the main page of Wisdom-Trek.com.
