Best Quotes about Character
Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down with incredible swiftness.
Baldwin, Faith
Strong feelings do not necessarily make a strong character. The strength of a man is to be measured by the power of the feelings he subdues not by the power of those which subdue him.
William Carleton
Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.
Greeley, Horace
Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
There is no greater index of character so sure as the voice.
Disraeli, Benjamin
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Lincoln, Abraham
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.
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
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.
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
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
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline
One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Proverb
Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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 is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity.
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly
Character is a victory, not a gift.
Character is simply habit long continued.
Plutarch
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline
Character is another thing that is formed in youth and reformed in marriage.
You must look into people, as well as at them.
Chesterfield, Lord
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
Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.
Howell, Harry
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. [Proverbs 23:7]
Bible
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids.
Aristotle
When God measures man, He puts the tape around his heart -- not his head.
Guideposts
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
If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.
Proverb, Chinese
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
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
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.
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
Property may be destroyed and money may lose its purchasing power; but, character, health, knowledge and good judgment will always be in demand under all conditions.
Babson, Roger
Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin
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
To succeed is nothing -- it's an accident. But to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Leneru, Marie
Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence.
Elihu Burritt
Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
Royal, Darrell
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.
Gross and obscure natures, however decorated, seem impure shambles; but character gives splendor to youth, and awe to wrinkled skin and gray hairs.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
