Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.

Best Quotes about Character
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea
Between ourselves and our real natures we interpose that wax figure of idealizations and selections which we call our character.
Lippmann, Walter
Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.
Greeley, Horace
Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity.
It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate -- to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance.
Jefferson, Thomas
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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 the reality of himself; his reputation, the opinion others have formed about him; character resides in him, reputation in other people; that is the substance, this is the shadow.
Beecher, Henry Ward
One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Proverb
Pity the man who has a character to support --it is worse than a large family -- he is silent poor indeed.
Thoreau, Henry David
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
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline
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
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant
Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself. He imposes his own stamp of action, takes responsibility for it, makes it his own.
Gaulle, Charles De
When God measures man, He puts the tape around his heart -- not his head.
Guideposts
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua
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
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
If all I'm remembered for is being a good basketball player, then I've done a bad job with the rest of my life.
Thomas, Isiah
You can't go around hoping that most people have sterling moral characters. The most you can hope for is that people will pretend that they do.
Lebowitz, Fran
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.
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.
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese
Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.
Elmer G. Letterman
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
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
Character is made by many acts; it may be lost by a single one.
Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down with incredible swiftness.
Baldwin, Faith
While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.
Mason, John L.
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 consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.
Michener, James A.
I have conquered an empire but I have not been able to conquer myself.
Peter The Great
Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. [Proverbs 23:7]
Bible
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.
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.
