Motivational Quotes
Character
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.

Best Quotes about Character
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius
Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
Royal, Darrell
Pity the man who has a character to support --it is worse than a large family -- he is silent poor indeed.
Thoreau, Henry David
The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.
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
Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.
Collins, Marva
You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans.
Reagan, Ronald
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
Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.
Elmer G. Letterman
One can acquire everything in solitude - except character.
Marie Henri Beyle
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline
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
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
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
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les
A man's character is his fate.
Heraclitus
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
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
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
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
Seneca
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert
If all I'm remembered for is being a good basketball player, then I've done a bad job with the rest of my life.
Thomas, Isiah
Character is simply habit long continued.
Plutarch
Instill the love of you into all the world, for a good character is what is remembered.
Merikare
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua
Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant
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
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman
Testimony is like an arrow shot from a long bow and the force of it depends on the strength of the arm from which it was shot. Argument is like a bullet fired from a gun and has equal force even when issued from a child.
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
Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.
Churchill, Winston
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.
Hermann Hesse
Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man.
Frankfurter, Felix
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
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese
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 - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life - is the source from which self respect springs.
Joan Didion
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
Solon
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.
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Goldsmith, Oliver
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.
The formation of one's character ought to be everyone's chief aim.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.
Howell, Harry
