Richter, Jean Paul
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
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco
The superior man will watch over himself when he is alone. He examines his heart that there may be nothing wrong there, and that he may have no cause of dissatisfaction with himself.
Confucius
The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Goldsmith, Oliver
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
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.

Akhenaton
Character is to man what carbon is to steel.
Hill, Napoleon
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
If an ass goes traveling it will not come home a horse.
Proverb
