Cushman, Charlotte Saunders

Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio

4.
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold

When God measures man, He puts the tape around his heart -- not his head.
Guideposts

It is not what he had, or even what he does which expresses the worth of a man, but what he is.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.
Greeley, Horace

The happiness of every country depends upon the character of its people, rather than the form of its government.
Haliburton, Thomas C.

Nothing marks the character of a young man more than failure.

10.
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

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

23.
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

24.
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

25.
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

26.
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Richter, Jean Paul

27.
Look, we're all the same; a man is a fourteen-room house --in the bedroom he's asleep with his intelligent wife, in the living-room he's rolling around with some bareass girl, in the library he's paying his taxes, in the yard he's raising tomatoes, and in the cellar he's making a bomb to blow it all up.
Miller, Arthur

28.
The superior man will watch over himself when he is alone. He examines his heart that there may be nothing wrong there, and that he may have no cause of dissatisfaction with himself.
Confucius

I have only got down on to paper, really, three types of people: the person I think I am, the people who irritate me, and the people I'd like to be.
Forster, Edward M.

Pity the man who has a character to support --it is worse than a large family -- he is silent poor indeed.
Thoreau, Henry David

Temperance is a tree which as for its root very little contentment, and for its fruit calm and peace.
Buddha

Crisp, Quentin

41.
A man's character is his fate.
