Best Quotes about Character

1.
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

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

Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

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

Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.

Character is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

7.
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett

8.
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly

9.
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

10.
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

During my eighty-seven years, I have witnessed a whole succession of technological revolutions. But none of them has done away with the need for character in the individual or the ability to think.
Baruch, Bernard M.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

13.
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold

14.
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.

15.
Sometimes people carry to such perfection the mask they have assumed that in due course they actually become the person they seem.
W. Somerset Maugham

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

22.
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

23.
Reputation is only a candle, of wavering and uncertain flame, and easily blown out, but it is the light by which the world looks for and finds merit.
Lowell, James Russell

24.
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

25.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
Wooden, John

26.
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.
Thomas, John M.

27.
As fire when thrown into water is cooled down and put out, so also a false accusation when brought against a man of the purest and holiest character, boils over and is at once dissipated, and vanishes and threats of heaven and sea, himself standing unmoved.
Cicero, Marcus T.

28.
Nothing marks the character of a young man more than failure.

29.
Those who cross the sea change only the climate, not their character.
Horace

30.
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert

31.
Character is another thing that is formed in youth and reformed in marriage.

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

33.
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

34.
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

35.
Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.
Elmer G. Letterman

Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids.
Aristotle

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

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

39.
Instill the love of you into all the world, for a good character is what is remembered.
Merikare

40.
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William

41.
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.

42.
A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another s.
Richter, Jean Paul

43.
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua

44.
To succeed is nothing -- it's an accident. But to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Leneru, Marie

45.
You can buy a person's time; you can buy their physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of their skilled muscular motions per hour. But you can not buy enthusiasm... you can not buy loyalty. You can not buy the devotion of hearts, minds, or souls. You must earn these.
Francis, Clarence

46.
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

47.
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les

48.
Pity the man who has a character to support --it is worse than a large family -- he is silent poor indeed.
Thoreau, Henry David

49.
You must look into people, as well as at them.
Chesterfield, Lord

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