Cicero
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David

Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids.
Aristotle
I have often thought the best way to define a man's character would be to seek out the particular mental or moral attitude in which, when it comes upon him, he felt himself most deeply and intensely active and alive.
