Best Quotes about Character

1.
Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

2.
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
Solon

3.
Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that thy principles are just, and then be thou
Akhenaton

4.
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

It is not what he had, or even what he does which expresses the worth of a man, but what he is.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Lincoln, Abraham

It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

That which we call character is a reserved force which acts directly by presence, and without means. It is conceived of as a certain undemonstrable force, a familiar or genius, by whose impulses the man is guided, but whose counsels he cannot impart.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

12.
Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down with incredible swiftness.
Baldwin, Faith

13.
You must look into people, as well as at them.
Chesterfield, Lord

14.
Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him.

A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you, and were helped by you, will remember you when forget-me-nots are withered. Carve your name on hearts, and not on marble
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon

16.
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.

17.
They attack the one man with their hate and their shower of weapons. But he is like some rock which stretches into the vast sea and which, exposed to the fury of the winds and beaten against by the waves, endures all the violence
Virgil

18.
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides

19.
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew

20.
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James A. Froude

Temperance is a tree which as for its root very little contentment, and for its fruit calm and peace.
Buddha

22.
Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character.
Robbins, Anthony

23.
Gross and obscure natures, however decorated, seem impure shambles; but character gives splendor to youth, and awe to wrinkled skin and gray hairs.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

24.
If a man character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.
Thackeray, William M.

While he was not as dumb as an ox, he was not any smarter either.
Thurber, James

26.
Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.
Elmer G. Letterman

Character is to man what carbon is to steel.
Hill, Napoleon

28.
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.
Hermann Hesse

We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques

30.
It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one's heart rather than out of pity. A person must possess himself and have a deep sense of security in fundamental principles and values in order to genuinely apologize.
Covey, Stephen R.

31.
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

The best index to a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back.
Buren, Abigail Van

33.
Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.
Rohn, Jim

Confucius

35.
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus

36.
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin

37.
I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune, while character comes from within.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

38.
He that has light within his own clear breast may sit in the center, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts benighted walks under the mid-day sun;
Milton, John

39.
Character is like the foundation of a house -- it is below the surface.

Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.

41.
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse

42.
Honor is the inner garment of the Soul; the first thing put on by it with the flesh, and the last it layeth down at its separation from it.
Akhenaton

Luther, John

48.
Character is simply habit long continued.
Plutarch
