Best Quotes about Character
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
Lubbock, Sir John
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett
Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses.
Crisp, Quentin
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.
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
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire
Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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.
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
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert
Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence.
Elihu Burritt
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
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James A. Froude
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
Solon
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.
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
The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: initiative, imagination, individuality, and independence.
Rickenbacker, Edward Vernon
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea
The hell to be endured hereafter, of which theology tells, is no worse than the hell we make for ourselves in this world by habitually fashioned our characters in the wrong way.
James, William
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
Character is like the foundation of a house -- it is below the surface.
The formation of one's character ought to be everyone's chief aim.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Few persons are made of such strong fiber that they will make a costly outlay when surface work will pass as well in the market.
Bounds, E. M.
Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down with incredible swiftness.
Baldwin, Faith
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius
One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Proverb
Between ourselves and our real natures we interpose that wax figure of idealizations and selections which we call our character.
Lippmann, Walter
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua
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
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
Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin
If an ass goes traveling it will not come home a horse.
Proverb
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese
Character is a victory, not a gift.
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse
I have often thought the best way to define a man's character would be to seek out the particular mental or moral attitude in which, when it comes upon him, he felt himself most deeply and intensely active and alive. At such moments there is a voice inside which speaks and says: This is the real me!.
James, William
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.
Landers, Ann
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
Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio
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
