Character Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Character

1.
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

2.
Strong feelings do not necessarily make a strong character. The strength of a man is to be measured by the power of the feelings he subdues not by the power of those which subdue him.
William Carleton

3.
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.

4.
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline

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

6.
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua

7.
Honor is the inner garment of the Soul; the first thing put on by it with the flesh, and the last it layeth down at its separation from it.
Akhenaton

8.
To succeed is nothing, it's an accident. but to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Marie Leneru

9.
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly

10.
To succeed is nothing -- it's an accident. But to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Leneru, Marie

11.
If anyone tells you someone has changed their character; don't believe it.
Mohammed

12.
While he was not as dumb as an ox, he was not any smarter either.
Thurber, James

13.
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse

14.
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

15.
Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.
Greeley, Horace

16.
If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how -- the very best I can. And I mean to keep on doing it to the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me will not amount to anything. If the end brings me out all wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.
Lincoln, Abraham

17.
Character is like the foundation of a house -- it is below the surface.

18.
Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly ones own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man.
Pandita, Saskya

19.
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

20.
To be fond of learning is near to wisdom; to practice with vigor is near to benevolence; and to be conscious of shame is near to fortitude. He who knows these three things
Confucius

21.
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.

22.
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William

23.
A man's character is his fate.
Heraclitus

24.
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.

25.
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques

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

Aquinas, St. Thomas

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

31.
Character is simply habit long continued.
Plutarch

We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David

Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man.
Frankfurter, Felix

40.
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava

41.
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

42.
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.

Eliot, George
