Virgil
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
Lubbock, Sir John
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.
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.
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
My father told me that if you saw a man in a Rolls Royce you could be sure he was not a gentleman unless he was the chauffeur.
Arran, Earl of
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus
It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Lincoln, Abraham
Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him.
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
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
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline
Character is made by many acts; it may be lost by a single one.
Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly
Character is simply habit long continued.
Plutarch
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.
The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life, for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves.
Trotsky, Leon
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
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. [Proverbs 23:7]
Bible
Temperance is a tree which as for its root very little contentment, and for its fruit calm and peace.
Buddha
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant
Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses.
Crisp, Quentin
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.
Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
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
Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity.
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea
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
I could never think well of a man's intellectual or moral character, if he was habitually unfaithful to his appointments.
Nathaniel Emmons
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.
Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
Seneca
Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.
Michener, James A.
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Richter, Jean Paul
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
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
It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate -- to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance.
Jefferson, Thomas
Property may be destroyed and money may lose its purchasing power; but, character, health, knowledge and good judgment will always be in demand under all conditions.
Babson, Roger
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
Menander
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
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire
The lord will not hold back the promises, even if the person who makes them is not worthy.
While he was not as dumb as an ox, he was not any smarter either.
Thurber, James
When God measures man, He puts the tape around his heart -- not his head.
Guideposts
