Best Quotes about Character

1.
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

2.
Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly ones own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man.
Pandita, Saskya

3.
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

4.
If an ass goes traveling it will not come home a horse.
Proverb

5.
It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.
Howell, Harry

6.
The happiness of every country depends upon the character of its people, rather than the form of its government.
Haliburton, Thomas C.

7.
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Hepburn, Katharine

8.
The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: initiative, imagination, individuality, and independence.
Rickenbacker, Edward Vernon

9.
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold

10.
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.

11.
Character matters; leadership descends from character.
Limbaugh, Rush

12.
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

13.
Character is another thing that is formed in youth and reformed in marriage.

14.
Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert

15.
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques

16.
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

17.
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

18.
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

19.
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.

20.
During my eighty-seven years, I have witnessed a whole succession of technological revolutions. But none of them has done away with the need for character in the individual or the ability to think.
Baruch, Bernard M.

21.
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya

22.
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.

23.
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

24.
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

25.
It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one's heart rather than out of pity. A person must possess himself and have a deep sense of security in fundamental principles and values in order to genuinely apologize.
Covey, Stephen R.

26.
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Richter, Jean Paul

27.
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
Lubbock, Sir John

28.
The lord will not hold back the promises, even if the person who makes them is not worthy.

29.
You can buy a person's time; you can buy their physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of their skilled muscular motions per hour. But you can not buy enthusiasm... you can not buy loyalty. You can not buy the devotion of hearts, minds, or souls. You must earn these.
Francis, Clarence

30.
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

31.
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

32.
Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb

33.
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

34.
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.

35.
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard

36.
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

37.
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.

38.
Between ourselves and our real natures we interpose that wax figure of idealizations and selections which we call our character.
Lippmann, Walter

39.
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett

40.
A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another s.
Richter, Jean Paul

41.
Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.
Michener, James A.

42.
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

43.
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

44.
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

45.
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin

46.
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.

47.
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius

48.
Character is made by many acts; it may be lost by a single one.

49.
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.

50.
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.
