Stand Like a Rock

Motivational Power Quote


Stand Like a Rock


“In matters of style,
swim with the current;
in matters of principle,
stand like a rock.”
Thomas Jefferson, 3rd US President


As I see it. . . . . . . .
Be a person of principle and stand like a rock.

Our principles become our guiding light. Principles are internal and expressed externally through our actions.

One’s principles are a matter of choice.

A person who has a foundation of strong moral principles will be seen as a person with character. Unsound principles is like standing on quicksand, we will not have solid footing and will eventually sink.

Our principles are the way we see our world and will be reflected in the type of decisions we make.

Principles are personal and business codes of conduct; it’s our moral compass and can be measured.

Stand like a rock through the storms of life, and when the storm passes you will be standing as a person of principle.
