Motivational Quotes
Character
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.

Best Quotes about Character
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William
Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity.
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Character in a saint means the disposition of Jesus Christ persistently manifested.
Chambers, Oswald
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
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
An excellent man, like precious metal, is in every way invariable; A villain, like the beams of a balance, is always varying, upwards and downwards, himself his own dungeon.
Pandita, Saskya
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard
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
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua
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.
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
Temperance is a tree which as for its root very little contentment, and for its fruit calm and peace.
Buddha
It is well for the world that in most of us, by the age of thirty, the character has set like plaster, and will never soften again.
James, William
Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.
Elmer G. Letterman
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.
To succeed is nothing, it's an accident. but to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Marie Leneru
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
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. At such moments there is a voice inside which speaks and says: This is the real me!.
James, William
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
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline
Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.
Landers, Ann
Instill the love of you into all the world, for a good character is what is remembered.
Merikare
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 consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.
Michener, James A.
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
Solon
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin
If a man character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.
Thackeray, William M.
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
The best index to a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back.
Buren, Abigail Van
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
Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.
Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses.
Crisp, Quentin
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse
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.
Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence.
Elihu Burritt
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Our character...is an omen of our destiny, and the more integrity we have and keep, the simpler and nobler that destiny is likely to be.
George Santayana
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.
Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
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
Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.
Churchill, Winston
Those who cross the sea change only the climate, not their character.
Horace
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava
