Motivational Quotes
Character
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.

Best Quotes about Character
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Richter, Jean Paul
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.
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline
Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les
Between ourselves and our real natures we interpose that wax figure of idealizations and selections which we call our character.
Lippmann, Walter
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.
Character is another thing that is formed in youth and reformed in marriage.
Character - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life - is the source from which self respect springs.
Joan Didion
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin
Character is made by many acts; it may be lost by a single one.
If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.
Proverb, Chinese
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
Menander
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
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse
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
Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
Honor is the inner garment of the Soul; the first thing put on by it with the flesh, and the last it layeth down at its separation from it.
Akhenaton
Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
Royal, Darrell
Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.
When God measures man, He puts the tape around his heart -- not his head.
Guideposts
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
Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses.
Crisp, Quentin
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire
It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius
Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.
Rohn, Jim
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. [Proverbs 23:7]
Bible
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua
Good character is like a rubber ball -- thrown down hard -- it bounces right back. Good reputation is like a crystal ball -- thrown for gain -- shattered and cracked.
Linall Jr. A. L.
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Hepburn, Katharine
Instill the love of you into all the world, for a good character is what is remembered.
Merikare
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
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
A man with a so-called character is often a simple piece of mechanism; he has often only one point of view for the extremely complicated relationships of life.
Strindberg, J. August
You must look into people, as well as at them.
Chesterfield, Lord
Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man.
Frankfurter, Felix
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus
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
Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character.
Robbins, Anthony
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.
Thomas, John M.
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
Character is like the foundation of a house -- it is below the surface.
