Best Quotes about Character

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

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

7.
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.
Shakespeare, William

If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.
Proverb, Chinese

Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

15.
A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another s.
Richter, Jean Paul

16.
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.

17.
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

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

23.
Character is to man what carbon is to steel.
Hill, Napoleon

24.
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline

25.
I have only got down on to paper, really, three types of people: the person I think I am, the people who irritate me, and the people I'd like to be.
Forster, Edward M.

26.
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

Property may be destroyed and money may lose its purchasing power; but, character, health, knowledge and good judgment will always be in demand under all conditions.
Babson, Roger

28.
Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character.
Robbins, Anthony

29.
Weakness of character is the only defect which cannot be amended.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

30.
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

31.
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Aquinas, St. Thomas

32.
If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how -- the very best I can. And I mean to keep on doing it to the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me will not amount to anything. If the end brings me out all wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.
Lincoln, Abraham

33.
Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence.
Elihu Burritt

34.
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.

35.
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les

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

The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

38.
Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of a man you are. It shows me what your ideal of manhood is, and what kind of a man you long to be.
Carlyle, Thomas

39.
Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

40.
I have conquered an empire but I have not been able to conquer myself.
Peter The Great
