Luther, John

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

Smith, Roy L.

26.
It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

27.
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James A. Froude

28.
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

29.
Character is simply habit long continued.
Plutarch

30.
If anyone tells you someone has changed their character; don't believe it.
Mohammed

31.
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.

32.
If an ass goes traveling it will not come home a horse.
Proverb

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

Richards, Mary Caroline
