Best Quotes about Character

1.
Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself. He imposes his own stamp of action, takes responsibility for it, makes it his own.
Gaulle, Charles De

2.
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.

3.
There is no greater index of character so sure as the voice.
Disraeli, Benjamin

4.
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert

5.
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

6.
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.

7.
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

8.
You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans.
Reagan, Ronald

9.
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.

10.
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

11.
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.

12.
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

13.
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese

14.
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

15.
Character is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

16.
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

17.
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince

18.
Weakness of character is the only defect which cannot be amended.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

19.
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline

20.
It is better for the development of character and contentment to do certain things badly for yourself than to have them done better for you by someone else.

21.
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
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

23.
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques

24.
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

25.
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew

26.
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

27.
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

28.
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

29.
Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.
Cicero

30.
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.

31.
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

32.
That which we call character is a reserved force which acts directly by presence, and without means. It is conceived of as a certain undemonstrable force, a familiar or genius, by whose impulses the man is guided, but whose counsels he cannot impart.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.
Character is another thing that is formed in youth and reformed in marriage.

34.
I have often thought the best way to define a man's character would be to seek out the particular mental or moral attitude in which, when it comes upon him, he felt himself most deeply and intensely active and alive. At such moments there is a voice inside which speaks and says: This is the real me!.
James, William

35.
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

36.
What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.
Dyke, Henry Van

37.
Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

38.
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.
Thomas, John M.

39.
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids.
Aristotle

40.
A man's character is his fate.
Heraclitus

41.
If all I'm remembered for is being a good basketball player, then I've done a bad job with the rest of my life.
Thomas, Isiah

42.
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire

43.
In attempts to improve your character, know what is in your power and what is beyond it.
Francis Thompson

44.
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

45.
Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin

46.
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin

47.
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.

48.
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya

49.
I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
King Jr. Martin Luther

50.
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.
