Best Quotes about Character
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
Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
Menander
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.
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince
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
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
You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans.
Reagan, Ronald
Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him.
Character is another thing that is formed in youth and reformed in marriage.
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Goldsmith, Oliver
Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.
It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.
Howell, Harry
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.
Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconcious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character
Covey, Stephen R.
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
There is no greater index of character so sure as the voice.
Disraeli, Benjamin
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
The formation of one's character ought to be everyone's chief aim.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
An excellent man, like precious metal, is in every way invariable; A villain, like the beams of a balance, is always varying, upwards and downwards, himself his own dungeon.
Pandita, Saskya
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David
A man with a so-called character is often a simple piece of mechanism; he has often only one point of view for the extremely complicated relationships of life.
Strindberg, J. August
If a man character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.
Thackeray, William M.
Sometimes people carry to such perfection the mask they have assumed that in due course they actually become the person they seem.
W. Somerset Maugham
Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
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
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques
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
Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence.
Elihu Burritt
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
It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
The best index to a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back.
Buren, Abigail Van
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
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
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
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David
Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity.
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese
