Best Quotes about Character

1.
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus

2.
Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity.

3.
It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one's heart rather than out of pity. A person must possess himself and have a deep sense of security in fundamental principles and values in order to genuinely apologize.
Covey, Stephen R.

4.
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

5.
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant

6.
I have conquered an empire but I have not been able to conquer myself.
Peter The Great

7.
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco

8.
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

9.
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

10.
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

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.
The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

13.
I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune, while character comes from within.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

14.
Good character is like a rubber ball -- thrown down hard -- it bounces right back. Good reputation is like a crystal ball -- thrown for gain -- shattered and cracked.
Linall Jr. A. L.

15.
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David

16.
The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: initiative, imagination, individuality, and independence.
Rickenbacker, Edward Vernon

17.
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.
Thomas, John M.

18.
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

19.
Temperance is a tree which as for its root very little contentment, and for its fruit calm and peace.
Buddha

20.
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

21.
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

22.
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.

23.
Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

24.
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

25.
While he was not as dumb as an ox, he was not any smarter either.
Thurber, James

26.
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
Lubbock, Sir John

27.
One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Proverb

28.
Weakness of character is the only defect which cannot be amended.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

29.
Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

30.
You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans.

32.
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin

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

34.
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold

35.
A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another s.
Richter, Jean Paul

36.
Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.
Elmer G. Letterman

37.
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.

38.
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

39.
As fire when thrown into water is cooled down and put out, so also a false accusation when brought against a man of the purest and holiest character, boils over and is at once dissipated, and vanishes and threats of heaven and sea, himself standing unmoved.
Cicero, Marcus T.

40.
Character is simply habit long continued.
Plutarch

41.
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
