Character

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

Best Quotes about Character

1.
Few people can distinguish the genuinely good from the reverse.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

2.
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.

3.
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince

4.
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse

5.
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

6.
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.
Keller, Helen

7.
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.

8.
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

9.
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.

10.
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William

11.
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Lincoln, Abraham

12.
The happiness of every country depends upon the character of its people, rather than the form of its government.
Haliburton, Thomas C.

13.
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett

14.
In attempts to improve your character, know what is in your power and what is beyond it.
Francis Thompson

15.
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
Lubbock, Sir John

16.
Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him.

17.
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

18.
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

19.
It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.
Howell, Harry

20.
I appreciate people who are civil, whether they mean it or not. I think: Be civil. Do not cherish your opinion over my feelings. There's a vanity to candor that isn't really worth it. Be kind.
Richard Greenberg

21.
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.
Thomas, John M.

22.
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin

23.
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

24.
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les

25.
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

26.
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.

27.
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.

28.
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David

29.
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant

30.
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

31.
The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

32.
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

33.
Character is to man what carbon is to steel.
Hill, Napoleon

34.
Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

35.
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius

36.
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

To succeed is nothing, it's an accident. but to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Marie Leneru

39.
Therefore keep in the midst of life. Do not isolate yourself. Be among men and things, and among troubles, and difficulties, and obstacles.
Drummond, Henry

40.
Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.
Collins, Marva

41.
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline

42.
Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.
Sivananda, Sri Swami

43.
Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.
Elmer G. Letterman

44.
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea

45.
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.

46.
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.

47.
The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
