Best Quotes about Character

1.
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

2.
A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another s.
Richter, Jean Paul

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

4.
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.

5.
Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man.
Frankfurter, Felix

6.
Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that thy principles are just, and then be thou
Akhenaton

7.
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

8.
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.

9.
Let us not say, every man is the architect of his own fortune; but let us say, every man is the architect of his own character.
Boardman, George D.

10.
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

11.
Few people can distinguish the genuinely good from the reverse.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)

12.
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew

13.
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.
Hermann Hesse

14.
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.

15.
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

16.
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire

17.
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.

18.
If you create an act, you create a habit. If you create a habit, you create a character. If you create a character, you create a destiny.
Maurois, Andre

19.
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

20.
Character in a saint means the disposition of Jesus Christ persistently manifested.
Chambers, Oswald

21.
Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert

22.
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

23.
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William

24.
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

25.
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert

26.
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin

27.
Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.

28.
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

29.
Between ourselves and our real natures we interpose that wax figure of idealizations and selections which we call our character.
Lippmann, Walter

30.
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

31.
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques

32.
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

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

34.
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

35.
It is well for the world that in most of us, by the age of thirty, the character has set like plaster, and will never soften again.
James, William

36.
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.

37.
Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

38.
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.

Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down with incredible swiftness.
Baldwin, Faith

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

Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

The lord will not hold back the promises, even if the person who makes them is not worthy.

47.
One can acquire everything in solitude - except character.
Marie Henri Beyle

48.
There is never a better measure of what a person is than what he does when he is absolutely free to choose.
Bulger, William M.

49.
Weakness of character is the only defect which cannot be amended.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

50.
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
