Motivational Quotes
Character
Look, we're all the same; a man is a fourteen-room house --in the bedroom he's asleep with his intelligent wife, in the living-room he's rolling around with some bareass girl, in the library he's paying his taxes, in the yard he's raising tomatoes, and in the cellar he's making a bomb to blow it all up.
Best Quotes about Character
Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconcious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character
Covey, Stephen R.
What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.
Dyke, Henry Van
An excellent man, like precious metal, is in every way invariable; A villain, like the beams of a balance, is always varying, upwards and downwards, himself his own dungeon.
Pandita, Saskya
One can acquire everything in solitude - except character.
Marie Henri Beyle
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
You can buy a person's time; you can buy their physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of their skilled muscular motions per hour. But you can not buy enthusiasm... you can not buy loyalty. You can not buy the devotion of hearts, minds, or souls. You must earn these.
Francis, Clarence
The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
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
Weakness of character is the only defect which cannot be amended.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
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.
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
Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.
Greeley, Horace
You must look into people, as well as at them.
Chesterfield, Lord
Character - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life - is the source from which self respect springs.
Joan Didion
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
You can't go around hoping that most people have sterling moral characters. The most you can hope for is that people will pretend that they do.
Lebowitz, Fran
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.
I could never think well of a man's intellectual or moral character, if he was habitually unfaithful to his appointments.
Nathaniel Emmons
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.
Character is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.
Parkhurst, Charles H.
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.
Mason, John L.
Character is made by many acts; it may be lost by a single one.
Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.
Cicero
Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him.
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
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
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.
Character is like the foundation of a house -- it is below the surface.
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.
Look, we're all the same; a man is a fourteen-room house --in the bedroom he's asleep with his intelligent wife, in the living-room he's rolling around with some bareass girl, in the library he's paying his taxes, in the yard he's raising tomatoes, and in the cellar he's making a bomb to blow it all up.
Miller, Arthur
Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that thy principles are just, and then be thou
Akhenaton
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
You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans.
Reagan, Ronald
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Richter, Jean Paul
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.
If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.
Proverb, Chinese
The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: initiative, imagination, individuality, and independence.
Rickenbacker, Edward Vernon
Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man.
Frankfurter, Felix
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.
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.
Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence.
Elihu Burritt
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline
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.
Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
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
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
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco
