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

Best Quotes about Character
In attempts to improve your character, know what is in your power and what is beyond it.
Francis Thompson
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
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
Temperance is a tree which as for its root very little contentment, and for its fruit calm and peace.
Buddha
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques
He that has light within his own clear breast may sit in the center, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts benighted walks under the mid-day sun;
Milton, John
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline
Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
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.
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea
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
No artist work is so high, so noble, so grand, so enduring, so important for all time, as the making of character in a child.
Cushman, Charlotte Saunders
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
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.
Thomas, John M.
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
When God measures man, He puts the tape around his heart -- not his head.
Guideposts

Richter, Jean Paul
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.
Michener, James A.
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco
While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.
Mason, John L.
Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that thy principles are just, and then be thou
Akhenaton
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
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya
I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
King Jr. Martin Luther
Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
Solon
A man's character is his fate.
Heraclitus
Instill the love of you into all the world, for a good character is what is remembered.
Merikare
It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Character matters; leadership descends from character.
Limbaugh, Rush
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
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.
Proverb, Chinese
While he was not as dumb as an ox, he was not any smarter either.

People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
Lubbock, Sir John
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
To be fond of learning is near to wisdom; to practice with vigor is near to benevolence; and to be conscious of shame is near to fortitude. He who knows these three things
Confucius
You can't go around hoping that most people have sterling moral characters. The most you can hope for is that people will pretend that they do.
Lebowitz, Fran
The superior man will watch over himself when he is alone. He examines his heart that there may be nothing wrong there, and that he may have no cause of dissatisfaction with himself.
Confucius
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides
