Best Quotes about Character

1.
For character too is a process and an unfolding... among our valued friends is there not someone or other who is a little too self confident and disdainful; whose distinguished mind is a little spotted with commonness; who is a little pinched here and protuberant there with native prejudices; or whose better energies are liable to lapse down the wrong channel under the influence of transient solicitations?
Eliot, George

2.
Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
Abraham Lincoln

3.
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

4.
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

5.
A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another s.
Richter, Jean Paul

6.
To succeed is nothing -- it's an accident. But to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Leneru, Marie

7.
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

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

9.
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea

10.
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly

11.
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Hepburn, Katharine

12.
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

13.
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

14.
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David

15.
Few people can distinguish the genuinely good from the reverse.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

16.
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse

17.

Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down with incredible swiftness.
Baldwin, Faith

19.
Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

20.
Character in a saint means the disposition of Jesus Christ persistently manifested.
Chambers, Oswald

21.
They attack the one man with their hate and their shower of weapons. But he is like some rock which stretches into the vast sea and which, exposed to the fury of the winds and beaten against by the waves, endures all the violence
Virgil

22.
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.
Keller, Helen

23.
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco

24.
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

25.
Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.
Greeley, Horace

26.
There is never a better measure of what a person is than what he does when he is absolutely free to choose.
Bulger, William M.

27.
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
Menander

28.
It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.
Howell, Harry

29.
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

30.
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman

Look, we're all the same; a man is a fourteen-room house --in the bedroom he's asleep with his intelligent wife, in the living-room he's rolling around with some bareass girl, in the library he's paying his taxes, in the yard he's raising tomatoes, and in the cellar he's making a bomb to blow it all up.
Miller, Arthur

38.
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.

Therefore keep in the midst of life. Do not isolate yourself. Be among men and things, and among troubles, and difficulties, and obstacles.

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