Best Quotes about Character
Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.
Keller, Helen
Character is like the foundation of a house -- it is below the surface.
I have conquered an empire but I have not been able to conquer myself.
Peter The Great
Look, we're all the same; a man is a fourteen-room house --in the bedroom he's asleep with his intelligent wife, in the living-room he's rolling around with some bareass girl, in the library he's paying his taxes, in the yard he's raising tomatoes, and in the cellar he's making a bomb to blow it all up.
Miller, Arthur
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Lincoln, Abraham
Character matters; leadership descends from character.
Limbaugh, Rush
If a man character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.
Thackeray, William M.
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
To be fond of learning is near to wisdom; to practice with vigor is near to benevolence; and to be conscious of shame is near to fortitude. He who knows these three things
Confucius
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava
Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.
Landers, Ann
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.
Shakespeare, William
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline
If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.
Proverb, Chinese
Strong feelings do not necessarily make a strong character. The strength of a man is to be measured by the power of the feelings he subdues not by the power of those which subdue him.
William Carleton
A man's character is his fate.
Heraclitus
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him.
Nothing marks the character of a young man more than failure.
Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus
Few persons are made of such strong fiber that they will make a costly outlay when surface work will pass as well in the market.
Bounds, E. M.
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.
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
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
Seneca
Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly ones own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man.
Pandita, Saskya
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
Menander
The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
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
Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character.
Robbins, Anthony
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les
There is never a better measure of what a person is than what he does when he is absolutely free to choose.
Bulger, William M.
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
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse
Instill the love of you into all the world, for a good character is what is remembered.
Merikare
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids.
Aristotle
Therefore keep in the midst of life. Do not isolate yourself. Be among men and things, and among troubles, and difficulties, and obstacles.
Drummond, Henry
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett
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
Character is made by many acts; it may be lost by a single one.
