Rightly Quotations

It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.
George Washington

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
Aristotle

The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.
