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.

Best Quotes about Character

1.
Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.

2.
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

3.
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Aquinas, St. Thomas

4.
Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

5.
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

6.
Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

7.
Those who cross the sea change only the climate, not their character.
Horace

8.
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant

9.
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.

10.
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

11.
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

12.
Character is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

13.
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

14.
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

15.
We falsely attribute to men a determined character -- putting together all their yesterdays -- and averaging them -- we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support -- it is worse than a large family -- he is the silent poor indeed.
Thoreau, Henry David

16.
Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses.
Crisp, Quentin

17.
While he was not as dumb as an ox, he was not any smarter either.
Thurber, James

18.
It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate -- to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance.
Jefferson, Thomas

19.
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.

20.
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

21.
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

22.
It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one's heart rather than out of pity. A person must possess himself and have a deep sense of security in fundamental principles and values in order to genuinely apologize.
Covey, Stephen R.

23.
Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

24.
If you create an act, you create a habit. If you create a habit, you create a character. If you create a character, you create a destiny.
Maurois, Andre

25.
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

26.
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea

27.
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

28.
The lord will not hold back the promises, even if the person who makes them is not worthy.

29.
One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Proverb

30.
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.

31.
That which we call character is a reserved force which acts directly by presence, and without means. It is conceived of as a certain undemonstrable force, a familiar or genius, by whose impulses the man is guided, but whose counsels he cannot impart.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

32.
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.
Thomas, John M.

33.
If all I'm remembered for is being a good basketball player, then I've done a bad job with the rest of my life.
Thomas, Isiah

34.
You must look into people, as well as at them.
Chesterfield, Lord

35.
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Hepburn, Katharine

36.
Character is simply habit long continued.
Plutarch

37.
He that has light within his own clear breast may sit in the center, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts benighted walks under the mid-day sun;
Milton, John

38.
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard

39.
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew

40.
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Richter, Jean Paul

41.
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

42.
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

43.
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African

A man's character is his fate.
Heraclitus

Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
Royal, Darrell

47.
Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

48.
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly

49.
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

50.
Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity.
