Character Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Character

1.
If a man character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.
Thackeray, William M.

2.
Pity the man who has a character to support --it is worse than a large family -- he is silent poor indeed.
Thoreau, Henry David

3.
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

4.
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

5.
For character too is a process and an unfolding... among our valued friends is there not someone or other who is a little too self confident and disdainful; whose distinguished mind is a little spotted with commonness; who is a little pinched here and protuberant there with native prejudices; or whose better energies are liable to lapse down the wrong channel under the influence of transient solicitations?
Eliot, George

6.
Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.
Michener, James A.

7.
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

8.
Character is a victory, not a gift.

9.
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

10.
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

11.
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya

12.
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

13.
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

14.
Few people can distinguish the genuinely good from the reverse.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

15.
Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

16.
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.
Thomas, John M.

17.
Testimony is like an arrow shot from a long bow and the force of it depends on the strength of the arm from which it was shot. Argument is like a bullet fired from a gun and has equal force even when issued from a child.

18.
Those who cross the sea change only the climate, not their character.
Horace

19.
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett

20.
Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence.
Elihu Burritt

21.
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.
Shakespeare, William

22.
Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
Royal, Darrell

23.
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius

24.
If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how -- the very best I can. And I mean to keep on doing it to the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me will not amount to anything. If the end brings me out all wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.
Lincoln, Abraham

25.
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

26.
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco

27.
Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of a man you are. It shows me what your ideal of manhood is, and what kind of a man you long to be.
Carlyle, Thomas

28.
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio

29.
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse

30.
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.

31.
To be fond of learning is near to wisdom; to practice with vigor is near to benevolence; and to be conscious of shame is near to fortitude. He who knows these three things
Confucius

32.
One can acquire everything in solitude - except character.
Marie Henri Beyle

33.
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.

34.
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

35.
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

36.
Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.
Collins, Marva

37.
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman

38.
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

39.
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua

40.
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

41.
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.

42.
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

43.
Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity.

44.
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus

45.
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
Menander

46.
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James A. Froude

47.
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

48.
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

49.
When God measures man, He puts the tape around his heart -- not his head.
Guideposts

50.
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.
