~Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.~
A. Lincoln
~Consider a tree for a bit. As beautiful as trees are to look at, we don't see what goes on underground. Trees must develop deep roots in order to grow strong and produce their beauty. But we don't see the roots. We just see and enjoy the beauty. In much the same way, what goes on inside of us is like the roots of a tree~~Meyer
