Values

As you live your values, your sense of
identity, integrity, control, and inner-directedness will infuse you with
both exhilaration and peace. You will define yourself from within, rather
than by people's opinions or by comparisons to others.

value which is, will not bring value to that which isn't.

*He [man] needs a code
of values to guide his actions. 'Value' is that which one acts to gain
and keep, 'virtue' is the action by which one gains and keeps it. 'Value'
presupposes an answer to the question: of value to whom and for what?
'Value' presupposes a standard, a purpose and the necessity of action in
the face of an alternative. Where there are no alternatives, no values
are possible.
