Best Quotes about Character
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
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
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.
One can acquire everything in solitude - except character.
Marie Henri Beyle
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
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David
To succeed is nothing -- it's an accident. But to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Leneru, Marie
Character is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.
Parkhurst, Charles H.
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
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
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.
It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. [Proverbs 23:7]
Bible
If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.
Proverb, Chinese
Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man.
Frankfurter, Felix
Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard
If a man character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.
Thackeray, William M.
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, 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
Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.
Greeley, Horace
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African
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
Nothing marks the character of a young man more than failure.
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.
If an ass goes traveling it will not come home a horse.
Proverb
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
Lubbock, Sir John
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
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant
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
Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Character is like the foundation of a house -- it is below the surface.
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.
During my eighty-seven years, I have witnessed a whole succession of technological revolutions. But none of them has done away with the need for character in the individual or the ability to think.
Baruch, Bernard M.
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.
Shakespeare, William
Instill the love of you into all the world, for a good character is what is remembered.
Merikare
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another s.
Richter, Jean Paul
You must look into people, as well as at them.
Chesterfield, Lord
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
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua
Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself. He imposes his own stamp of action, takes responsibility for it, makes it his own.
Gaulle, Charles De
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
