Character Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Character

1.
One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Proverb

2.
Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.
Cicero

3.
The hell to be endured hereafter, of which theology tells, is no worse than the hell we make for ourselves in this world by habitually fashioned our characters in the wrong way.
James, William

4.
Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

5.
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

6.
Our character...is an omen of our destiny, and the more integrity we have and keep, the simpler and nobler that destiny is likely to be.
George Santayana

7.
Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconcious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character
Covey, Stephen R.

8.
My father told me that if you saw a man in a Rolls Royce you could be sure he was not a gentleman unless he was the chauffeur.
Arran, Earl of

9.
Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb

10.
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio

11.
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin

12.
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus

13.
It is well for the world that in most of us, by the age of thirty, the character has set like plaster, and will never soften again.
James, William

14.
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus

15.
Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

16.
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew

17.
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese

18.
Testimony is like an arrow shot from a long bow and the force of it depends on the strength of the arm from which it was shot. Argument is like a bullet fired from a gun and has equal force even when issued from a child.

19.
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea

20.
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
Seneca

21.
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David

22.
The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: initiative, imagination, individuality, and independence.
Rickenbacker, Edward Vernon

23.
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant

24.
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

25.
I have often thought the best way to define a man's character would be to seek out the particular mental or moral attitude in which, when it comes upon him, he felt himself most deeply and intensely active and alive. At such moments there is a voice inside which speaks and says: This is the real me!.
James, William

26.
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince

27.
We falsely attribute to men a determined character -- putting together all their yesterdays -- and averaging them -- we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support -- it is worse than a large family -- he is the silent poor indeed.
Thoreau, Henry David

28.
The formation of one's character ought to be everyone's chief aim.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

29.
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

30.
It is better for the development of character and contentment to do certain things badly for yourself than to have them done better for you by someone else.

31.
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman

32.
The superior man will watch over himself when he is alone. He examines his heart that there may be nothing wrong there, and that he may have no cause of dissatisfaction with himself.
Confucius

33.
I appreciate people who are civil, whether they mean it or not. I think: Be civil. Do not cherish your opinion over my feelings. There's a vanity to candor that isn't really worth it. Be kind.
Richard Greenberg

34.
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.

35.
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.

36.
The man who cannot believe in himself cannot believe in anything else. The basis of all integrity and character is whatever faith we have in our own integrity.
Smith, Roy L.

37.
While he was not as dumb as an ox, he was not any smarter either.
Thurber, James

38.
The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
Macaulay, Thomas B.

39.
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Goldsmith, Oliver

40.
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.

41.
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques

42.
Pity the man who has a character to support --it is worse than a large family -- he is silent poor indeed.
Thoreau, Henry David

43.
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.

44.
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline

45.
Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it piece by piece-by thought, choice, courage and determination.
Luther, John

46.
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

47.
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert

48.
Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.
Churchill, Winston

49.
Character is simply habit long continued.
Plutarch

50.
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
