Best Quotes about Character

1.
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman

2.
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides

3.
Character is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

4.
A man's character is the reality of himself; his reputation, the opinion others have formed about him; character resides in him, reputation in other people; that is the substance, this is the shadow.
Beecher, Henry Ward

5.
Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconcious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character
Covey, Stephen R.

6.
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

7.
Between ourselves and our real natures we interpose that wax figure of idealizations and selections which we call our character.
Lippmann, Walter

8.
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les

9.
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

10.
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
Lubbock, Sir John

11.
Character - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life - is the source from which self respect springs.
Joan Didion

12.
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

13.
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David

14.
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.

15.
Character is to man what carbon is to steel.
Hill, Napoleon

16.
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

17.
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.

18.
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.
Thomas, John M.

19.
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

20.
Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses.
Crisp, Quentin

21.
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

22.
When God measures man, He puts the tape around his heart -- not his head.
Guideposts

23.
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert

24.
Character is made by many acts; it may be lost by a single one.

25.
Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.
Churchill, Winston

26.
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava

27.
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

28.
Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.
Cicero

29.
You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans.
Reagan, Ronald

30.
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince

31.
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold

32.
That which we call character is a reserved force which acts directly by presence, and without means. It is conceived of as a certain undemonstrable force, a familiar or genius, by whose impulses the man is guided, but whose counsels he cannot impart.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.
A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another s.
Richter, Jean Paul

34.
Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.
Landers, Ann

35.
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

36.
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.

Ausonius, Decimus Magnus

40.
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

41.
It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.
Howell, Harry

42.
Character is a victory, not a gift.

43.
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua

44.
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.
Luther, John

45.
Character matters; leadership descends from character.
Limbaugh, Rush

46.
Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin

47.
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

48.
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard

49.
An excellent man, like precious metal, is in every way invariable; A villain, like the beams of a balance, is always varying, upwards and downwards, himself his own dungeon.
Pandita, Saskya

50.
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.
