All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

3.
You can't go around hoping that most people have sterling moral characters. The most you can hope for is that people will pretend that they do.
Lebowitz, Fran

4.
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

5.
Character is like the foundation of a house -- it is below the surface.

6.

The man who cannot believe in himself cannot believe in anything else. The basis of all integrity and character is whatever faith we have in our own integrity.
Smith, Roy L.

14.
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert

15.
Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.
Sivananda, Sri Swami

16.
No artist work is so high, so noble, so grand, so enduring, so important for all time, as the making of character in a child.
Cushman, Charlotte Saunders

17.
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

18.
Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly ones own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man.
Pandita, Saskya

19.
It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate -- to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance.
Jefferson, Thomas

20.
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.

21.
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. [Proverbs 23:7]
Bible

22.
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

23.
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
Solon

24.
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids.
Aristotle

25.
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

26.
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea

27.
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

28.
Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

29.
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline

30.
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
Lubbock, Sir John

Thomas, John M.

32.
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
