Motivational Quotes
Character
Honor is the inner garment of the Soul; the first thing put on by it with the flesh, and the last it layeth down at its separation from it.

Best Quotes about Character
Instill the love of you into all the world, for a good character is what is remembered.
Merikare
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
Character is made by many acts; it may be lost by a single one.
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.
One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Proverb
The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques
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
I have only got down on to paper, really, three types of people: the person I think I am, the people who irritate me, and the people I'd like to be.
Forster, Edward M.
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Richter, Jean Paul
Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
Abraham Lincoln
Character matters; leadership descends from character.
Limbaugh, Rush
You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans.
Reagan, Ronald
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett
They attack the one man with their hate and their shower of weapons. But he is like some rock which stretches into the vast sea and which, exposed to the fury of the winds and beaten against by the waves, endures all the violence
Virgil
The best index to a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back.
Buren, Abigail Van
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly
Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb
If all I'm remembered for is being a good basketball player, then I've done a bad job with the rest of my life.
Thomas, Isiah
When God measures man, He puts the tape around his heart -- not his head.
Guideposts
If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.
Proverb, Chinese
During my eighty-seven years, I have witnessed a whole succession of technological revolutions. But none of them has done away with the need for character in the individual or the ability to think.
Baruch, Bernard M.
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.
In attempts to improve your character, know what is in your power and what is beyond it.
Francis Thompson
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
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman
Few people can distinguish the genuinely good from the reverse.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
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
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.
Few persons are made of such strong fiber that they will make a costly outlay when surface work will pass as well in the market.
Bounds, E. M.
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
A man with a so-called character is often a simple piece of mechanism; he has often only one point of view for the extremely complicated relationships of life.
Strindberg, J. August
I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune, while character comes from within.
Plautus, Titus Maccius
Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew
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
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua
A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another s.
Richter, Jean Paul
Character in a saint means the disposition of Jesus Christ persistently manifested.
Chambers, Oswald
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya
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
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.
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
The hell to be endured hereafter, of which theology tells, is no worse than the hell we make for ourselves in this world by habitually fashioned our characters in the wrong way.
James, William
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
Lubbock, Sir John
If a man character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.
Thackeray, William M.
