Best Quotes about Character
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.
Shakespeare, William
If an ass goes traveling it will not come home a horse.
Proverb
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
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 develops itself in the stream of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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.
Those who cross the sea change only the climate, not their character.
Horace
It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one's heart rather than out of pity. A person must possess himself and have a deep sense of security in fundamental principles and values in order to genuinely apologize.
Covey, Stephen R.
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les
Character is another thing that is formed in youth and reformed in marriage.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
Wooden, John
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Hepburn, Katharine
A man's character is his fate.
Heraclitus
The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life, for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves.
Trotsky, Leon
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
The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: initiative, imagination, individuality, and independence.
Rickenbacker, Edward Vernon
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
Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character.
Robbins, Anthony
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Richter, Jean Paul
Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.
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
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.
To succeed is nothing -- it's an accident. But to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Leneru, Marie
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire
Nothing marks the character of a young man more than failure.
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
Gross and obscure natures, however decorated, seem impure shambles; but character gives splendor to youth, and awe to wrinkled skin and gray hairs.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea
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
If a man character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.
Thackeray, William M.
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
Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb
Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus
It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
There is no greater index of character so sure as the voice.
Disraeli, Benjamin
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
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
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques
If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.
Proverb, Chinese
Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David
