Best Quotes about Character
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.
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
Reputation is only a candle, of wavering and uncertain flame, and easily blown out, but it is the light by which the world looks for and finds merit.
Lowell, James Russell
To succeed is nothing, it's an accident. but to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Marie Leneru
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David

Proverb, Chinese
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William

Heraclitus
The formation of one's character ought to be everyone's chief aim.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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.
Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character.
Robbins, Anthony
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les

Proverb
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
Menander
Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it piece by piece-by thought, choice, courage and determination.
Luther, John
Character is simply habit long continued.
Plutarch

Keller, Helen
While he was not as dumb as an ox, he was not any smarter either.
Thurber, James
Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him.
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
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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.
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus
Character is made by many acts; it may be lost by a single one.
Character matters; leadership descends from character.
Limbaugh, Rush
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett
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
Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down with incredible swiftness.
Baldwin, Faith
Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince

Heraclitus
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.

Virgil
Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius
Few people can distinguish the genuinely good from the reverse.
