- Drummond, Henry

Best Quotes about Character

1.
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.

2.
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids.
Aristotle

3.
A man with a so-called character is often a simple piece of mechanism; he has often only one point of view for the extremely complicated relationships of life.
Strindberg, J. August

4.
Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

5.
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire

6.
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. [Proverbs 23:7]
Bible

7.
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.
Shakespeare, William

8.
Testimony is like an arrow shot from a long bow and the force of it depends on the strength of the arm from which it was shot. Argument is like a bullet fired from a gun and has equal force even when issued from a child.

9.
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

10.
Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of a man you are. It shows me what your ideal of manhood is, and what kind of a man you long to be.
Carlyle, Thomas

11.
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

12.
A man's character is his fate.
Heraclitus

13.
If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.
Proverb, Chinese

14.
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

15.
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

16.
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

17.
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

18.
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

19.
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.

20.
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

21.
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett

22.
Weakness of character is the only defect which cannot be amended.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

23.
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Goldsmith, Oliver

24.
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James A. Froude

25.
If an ass goes traveling it will not come home a horse.
Proverb

26.
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio

27.
Character is made by many acts; it may be lost by a single one.

28.
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese

29.
Character is another thing that is formed in youth and reformed in marriage.

30.
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava

31.
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.

32.
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.

33.
I have conquered an empire but I have not been able to conquer myself.
Peter The Great

34.
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.

35.
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David

36.
The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: initiative, imagination, individuality, and independence.
Rickenbacker, Edward Vernon

37.
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya

38.
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

39.
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William

40.
Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert

41.
It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate -- to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance.
Jefferson, Thomas

42.
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse

43.
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

44.
Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.
Collins, Marva

45.
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

46.
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.

47.
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.

48.
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

49.
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African

50.
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
