Best Quotes about Character

1.
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert

2.
Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

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

Nothing marks the character of a young man more than failure.

7.
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

8.
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.

Reputation is only a candle, of wavering and uncertain flame, and easily blown out, but it is the light by which the world looks for and finds merit.
Lowell, James Russell

Richard Greenberg

12.
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David

Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

16.
We falsely attribute to men a determined character -- putting together all their yesterdays -- and averaging them -- we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support -- it is worse than a large family -- he is the silent poor indeed.
Thoreau, Henry David

17.
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

18.
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

19.
While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.
Mason, John L.

20.
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.

21.

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

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

24.
The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.

25.
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.

26.
If an ass goes traveling it will not come home a horse.
Proverb

27.
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides

28.
The happiness of every country depends upon the character of its people, rather than the form of its government.
Haliburton, Thomas C.

29.
Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.
Michener, James A.

30.
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

31.
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus

Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.
Greeley, Horace

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.

It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate -- to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance.
