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.

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

30.
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.
Hermann Hesse

Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese

The formation of one's character ought to be everyone's chief aim.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

33.
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.

Akhenaton

35.
You can't go around hoping that most people have sterling moral characters. The most you can hope for is that people will pretend that they do.
Lebowitz, Fran

36.
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Goldsmith, Oliver

37.
There is no greater index of character so sure as the voice.
Disraeli, Benjamin

38.
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

It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.
Howell, Harry

47.
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly

48.
Character is made by many acts; it may be lost by a single one.

49.
Pity the man who has a character to support --it is worse than a large family -- he is silent poor indeed.
Thoreau, Henry David

50.
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.
