Richter, Jean Paul
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.

Aristotle
Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.

Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett
I have conquered an empire but I have not been able to conquer myself.

Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that thy principles are just, and then be thou
