Robbins, Anthony
If a man character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.
Thackeray, William M.
To succeed is nothing -- it's an accident. But to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Leneru, Marie
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.
Thomas, John M.
A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another s.
Richter, Jean Paul
Weakness of character is the only defect which cannot be amended.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
Royal, Darrell

A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Richard Greenberg
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
Menander
The lord will not hold back the promises, even if the person who makes them is not worthy.
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
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.
You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans.
Reagan, Ronald
Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man.
Frankfurter, Felix
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
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
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
Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence.
Elihu Burritt
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.
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
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
Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.
Hermann Hesse
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.
Mason, John L.
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Lincoln, Abraham
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
There is no greater index of character so sure as the voice.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David
Character is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.
Parkhurst, Charles H.
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
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
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids.
Aristotle
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
That which we call character is a reserved force which acts directly by presence, and without means. It is conceived of as a certain undemonstrable force, a familiar or genius, by whose impulses the man is guided, but whose counsels he cannot impart.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
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
Character is like the foundation of a house -- it is below the surface.
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua
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
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James A. Froude
