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

4.
The happiness of every country depends upon the character of its people, rather than the form of its government.

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

14.
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

15.
Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb

16.
There is no greater index of character so sure as the voice.
Disraeli, Benjamin

17.
One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Proverb

18.
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin

19.
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

20.
Character is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

21.

Boardman, George D.

26.
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.

27.
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.

Royal, Darrell

Proverb

31.
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.

32.
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett

33.
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

34.
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince

35.

Frankfurter, Felix

38.
It is not what he had, or even what he does which expresses the worth of a man, but what he is.
