Motivational Quotes
Character
One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Best Quotes about Character
Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.
Rohn, Jim
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea
I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
King Jr. Martin Luther
I could never think well of a man's intellectual or moral character, if he was habitually unfaithful to his appointments.
Nathaniel Emmons
The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese
Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The best index to a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back.
Buren, Abigail Van
Character is a victory, not a gift.
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
There is no greater index of character so sure as the voice.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself. He imposes his own stamp of action, takes responsibility for it, makes it his own.
Gaulle, Charles De
Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant
Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
Royal, Darrell
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides
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
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids.
Aristotle
Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les
Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.
Greeley, Horace
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
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
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Hepburn, Katharine
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
Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence.
Elihu Burritt
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
The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: initiative, imagination, individuality, and independence.
Rickenbacker, Edward Vernon
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
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus
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
Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
Seneca
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
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew
Those who cross the sea change only the climate, not their character.
Horace
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
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco
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
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.
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline
You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans.
Reagan, Ronald
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius
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
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava
