Best Quotes about Character
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man.
Frankfurter, Felix
It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.
Schopenhauer, 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
Weakness of character is the only defect which cannot be amended.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Character matters; leadership descends from character.
Limbaugh, Rush
Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down with incredible swiftness.
Baldwin, Faith
In attempts to improve your character, know what is in your power and what is beyond it.
Francis Thompson
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
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
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
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Lincoln, Abraham
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques
I could never think well of a man's intellectual or moral character, if he was habitually unfaithful to his appointments.
Nathaniel Emmons
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard
The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: initiative, imagination, individuality, and independence.
Rickenbacker, Edward Vernon
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
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
Therefore keep in the midst of life. Do not isolate yourself. Be among men and things, and among troubles, and difficulties, and obstacles.
Drummond, Henry
Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence.
Elihu Burritt
Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
Royal, Darrell
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco
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
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.
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
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
Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin
A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another s.
Richter, Jean Paul
Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that thy principles are just, and then be thou
Akhenaton
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
Character - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life - is the source from which self respect springs.
Joan Didion
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
Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.
Mason, John L.
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.

O'Shea
If a man character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.
Thackeray, William M.
The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
