Motivational Quotes
Character
It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate -- to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance.

Best Quotes about Character
The happiness of every country depends upon the character of its people, rather than the form of its government.
Haliburton, Thomas C.
A man's character is his fate.
Heraclitus
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
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco
Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As fire when thrown into water is cooled down and put out, so also a false accusation when brought against a man of the purest and holiest character, boils over and is at once dissipated, and vanishes and threats of heaven and sea, himself standing unmoved.
Cicero, Marcus T.
Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.
Michener, James A.
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Goldsmith, Oliver
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
If an ass goes traveling it will not come home a horse.
Proverb
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how -- the very best I can. And I mean to keep on doing it to the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me will not amount to anything. If the end brings me out all wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.
Lincoln, Abraham
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Proverb
Character is to man what carbon is to steel.
Hill, Napoleon
Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin
Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
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
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
Seneca
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
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
Character - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life - is the source from which self respect springs.
Joan Didion
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.
Thomas, John M.
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
Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
Royal, Darrell
Between ourselves and our real natures we interpose that wax figure of idealizations and selections which we call our character.
Lippmann, Walter
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.
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 don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les
There is no greater index of character so sure as the voice.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.
Hermann Hesse
Character is like the foundation of a house -- it is below the surface.
Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character.
Robbins, Anthony
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Lincoln, Abraham
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett
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
Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.
Landers, Ann
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
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
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince
