Best Quotes about Character

1.
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua

2.
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

3.
If you create an act, you create a habit. If you create a habit, you create a character. If you create a character, you create a destiny.
Maurois, Andre

4.
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.

5.
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

6.
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.

7.
Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
Abraham Lincoln

8.
The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: initiative, imagination, individuality, and independence.
Rickenbacker, Edward Vernon

9.
Character matters; leadership descends from character.
Limbaugh, Rush

10.
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Goldsmith, Oliver

11.
For character too is a process and an unfolding... among our valued friends is there not someone or other who is a little too self confident and disdainful; whose distinguished mind is a little spotted with commonness; who is a little pinched here and protuberant there with native prejudices; or whose better energies are liable to lapse down the wrong channel under the influence of transient solicitations?
Eliot, George

12.
Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin

13.
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya

14.
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.

15.
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

16.
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les

17.
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard

18.
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides

19.
A man's character is his fate.
Heraclitus

20.
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

21.
I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
King Jr. Martin Luther

22.
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

23.
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.
Hermann Hesse

24.
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

25.
Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

26.
Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.

27.
If anyone tells you someone has changed their character; don't believe it.
Mohammed

28.
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques

29.
Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert

30.
When God measures man, He puts the tape around his heart -- not his head.
Guideposts

31.
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. [Proverbs 23:7]
Bible

32.
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.
Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
Royal, Darrell

34.
Character is simply habit long continued.
Plutarch

35.
It is not what he had, or even what he does which expresses the worth of a man, but what he is.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

36.
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus

37.
Character is to man what carbon is to steel.
Hill, Napoleon

38.
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

39.
Character is another thing that is formed in youth and reformed in marriage.

40.
The happiness of every country depends upon the character of its people, rather than the form of its government.
Haliburton, Thomas C.

41.
Let us not say, every man is the architect of his own fortune; but let us say, every man is the architect of his own character.
Boardman, George D.

42.
If an ass goes traveling it will not come home a horse.
Proverb

43.
The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
Macaulay, Thomas B.

44.
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Lincoln, Abraham

45.
Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

46.
I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune, while character comes from within.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

47.
Temperance is a tree which as for its root very little contentment, and for its fruit calm and peace.
Buddha

48.
Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb

49.
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

50.
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire
