Character Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Character

1.
The best index to a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back.
Buren, Abigail Van

2.
Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
Abraham Lincoln

3.
Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert

4.
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince

5.
The lord will not hold back the promises, even if the person who makes them is not worthy.

6.
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

7.
Those who cross the sea change only the climate, not their character.
Horace

8.
Character is another thing that is formed in youth and reformed in marriage.

9.
Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.
Rohn, Jim

10.
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.

11.
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.

12.
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

13.
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

14.
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

15.
Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him.

16.
Few persons are made of such strong fiber that they will make a costly outlay when surface work will pass as well in the market.
Bounds, E. M.

17.
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques

18.
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David

19.
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

20.
Our character...is an omen of our destiny, and the more integrity we have and keep, the simpler and nobler that destiny is likely to be.
George Santayana

21.
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio

22.
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

23.
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

24.
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

25.
Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin

26.
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea

27.
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James A. Froude

28.
If an ass goes traveling it will not come home a horse.
Proverb

29.
Character is a victory, not a gift.

30.
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.
Thomas, John M.

31.
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.

32.
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse

33.
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

34.
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant

35.
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African

36.
Nothing marks the character of a young man more than failure.

37.
The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
Macaulay, Thomas B.

38.
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Goldsmith, Oliver

39.
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya

40.
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman

41.
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

42.
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

43.
Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.
Collins, Marva

44.
Character is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

45.
Sometimes people carry to such perfection the mask they have assumed that in due course they actually become the person they seem.
W. Somerset Maugham

46.
Character is to man what carbon is to steel.
Hill, Napoleon

47.
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Hepburn, Katharine

48.
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.

49.
A man's character is the reality of himself; his reputation, the opinion others have formed about him; character resides in him, reputation in other people; that is the substance, this is the shadow.
Beecher, Henry Ward

50.
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
