Motivational Quotes
Character
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.

Best Quotes about Character
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Richter, Jean Paul
You can buy a person's time; you can buy their physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of their skilled muscular motions per hour. But you can not buy enthusiasm... you can not buy loyalty. You can not buy the devotion of hearts, minds, or souls. You must earn these.
Francis, Clarence
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.
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
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
The lord will not hold back the promises, even if the person who makes them is not worthy.
You must look into people, as well as at them.
Chesterfield, Lord
One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Proverb
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.
If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.
Proverb, Chinese
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
Menander
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua
Character - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life - is the source from which self respect springs.
Joan Didion
Few people can distinguish the genuinely good from the reverse.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
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
Weakness of character is the only defect which cannot be amended.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
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
Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character.
Robbins, Anthony
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince
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
Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
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
Let us not say, every man is the architect of his own fortune; but let us say, every man is the architect of his own character.
Boardman, George D.
In attempts to improve your character, know what is in your power and what is beyond it.
Francis Thompson
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire
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
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
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
It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate -- to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance.
Jefferson, Thomas
There is no greater index of character so sure as the voice.
Disraeli, Benjamin
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David
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
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James A. Froude
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius
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.
I could never think well of a man's intellectual or moral character, if he was habitually unfaithful to his appointments.
Nathaniel Emmons
Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.
Collins, Marva
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William
The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: initiative, imagination, individuality, and independence.
Rickenbacker, Edward Vernon
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
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.
Mason, John L.
Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
Royal, Darrell
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew
