Best Quotes about Character
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Goldsmith, Oliver
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
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.
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
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
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus
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
Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down with incredible swiftness.
Baldwin, Faith
Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity.
Temperance is a tree which as for its root very little contentment, and for its fruit calm and peace.
Buddha
I appreciate people who are civil, whether they mean it or not. I think: Be civil. Do not cherish your opinion over my feelings. There's a vanity to candor that isn't really worth it. Be kind.
Richard Greenberg
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids.
Aristotle
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African
Character matters; leadership descends from character.
Limbaugh, Rush
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard
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
While he was not as dumb as an ox, he was not any smarter either.
Thurber, James
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
A man with a so-called character is often a simple piece of mechanism; he has often only one point of view for the extremely complicated relationships of life.
Strindberg, J. August
Those who cross the sea change only the climate, not their character.
Horace
No artist work is so high, so noble, so grand, so enduring, so important for all time, as the making of character in a child.
Cushman, Charlotte Saunders
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
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
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
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
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline
I have conquered an empire but I have not been able to conquer myself.
Peter The Great
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.
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert
Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert
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
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
Menander
The formation of one's character ought to be everyone's chief aim.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Lincoln, Abraham
Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.
Sivananda, Sri Swami
Pity the man who has a character to support --it is worse than a large family -- he is silent poor indeed.
Thoreau, Henry David
Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.
Michener, James A.
Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him.
Character is like the foundation of a house -- it is below the surface.
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
