Best Quotes about Character
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
Temperance is a tree which as for its root very little contentment, and for its fruit calm and peace.
Buddha
I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
King Jr. Martin Luther
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua
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
Akhenaton
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus
Sometimes people carry to such perfection the mask they have assumed that in due course they actually become the person they seem.
W. Somerset Maugham
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus
To be fond of learning is near to wisdom; to practice with vigor is near to benevolence; and to be conscious of shame is near to fortitude. He who knows these three things
Confucius
The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life, for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves.
Trotsky, Leon
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 is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
Abraham Lincoln
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard
The happiness of every country depends upon the character of its people, rather than the form of its government.
Haliburton, Thomas C.
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline
Few people can distinguish the genuinely good from the reverse.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
Lubbock, Sir John
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
We falsely attribute to men a determined character -- putting together all their yesterdays -- and averaging them -- we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support -- it is worse than a large family -- he is the silent poor indeed.
Thoreau, Henry David
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
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you, and were helped by you, will remember you when forget-me-nots are withered. Carve your name on hearts, and not on marble
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides
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
The lord will not hold back the promises, even if the person who makes them is not worthy.
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.
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
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava
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
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.
You must look into people, as well as at them.
Chesterfield, Lord
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.
Keller, Helen
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.
Hermann Hesse
Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of a man you are. It shows me what your ideal of manhood is, and what kind of a man you long to be.
Carlyle, Thomas
A man's character is the reality of himself; his reputation, the opinion others have formed about him; character resides in him, reputation in other people; that is the substance, this is the shadow.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
Seneca
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
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
Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him.
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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.
Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses.
Crisp, Quentin
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David
Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
