Motivational Quotes
Character
Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down with incredible swiftness.
Best Quotes about Character
If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.
Proverb, Chinese
The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
Macaulay, Thomas B.
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
The happiness of every country depends upon the character of its people, rather than the form of its government.
Haliburton, Thomas C.
What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.
Dyke, Henry Van
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.
Instill the love of you into all the world, for a good character is what is remembered.
Merikare
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les
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.
The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
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
Look, we're all the same; a man is a fourteen-room house --in the bedroom he's asleep with his intelligent wife, in the living-room he's rolling around with some bareass girl, in the library he's paying his taxes, in the yard he's raising tomatoes, and in the cellar he's making a bomb to blow it all up.
Miller, Arthur
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
Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb
There is no greater index of character so sure as the voice.
Disraeli, Benjamin
One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Proverb
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin
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
Character is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.
Parkhurst, Charles H.
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
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African
It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate -- to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance.
Jefferson, Thomas
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
Seneca
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.
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
Royal, Darrell
If an ass goes traveling it will not come home a horse.
Proverb
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.
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett
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
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince
Character is another thing that is formed in youth and reformed in marriage.
Sometimes people carry to such perfection the mask they have assumed that in due course they actually become the person they seem.
W. Somerset Maugham
Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man.
Frankfurter, Felix
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
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus
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.
The lord will not hold back the promises, even if the person who makes them is not worthy.
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
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard
My father told me that if you saw a man in a Rolls Royce you could be sure he was not a gentleman unless he was the chauffeur.
Arran, Earl of
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava
The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: initiative, imagination, individuality, and independence.
Rickenbacker, Edward Vernon
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
Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.
Collins, Marva
To succeed is nothing -- it's an accident. But to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Leneru, Marie
