Motivational Quotes
Character
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.

Best Quotes about Character
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius
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.
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
Lubbock, Sir John
The man who cannot believe in himself cannot believe in anything else. The basis of all integrity and character is whatever faith we have in our own integrity.
Smith, Roy L.
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. [Proverbs 23:7]
Bible
Reputation is only a candle, of wavering and uncertain flame, and easily blown out, but it is the light by which the world looks for and finds merit.
Lowell, James Russell
Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence.
Elihu Burritt
Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Character is a victory, not a gift.
My father told me that if you saw a man in a Rolls Royce you could be sure he was not a gentleman unless he was the chauffeur.
Arran, Earl of
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David
Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Richter, Jean Paul
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Goldsmith, Oliver
Gross and obscure natures, however decorated, seem impure shambles; but character gives splendor to youth, and awe to wrinkled skin and gray hairs.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Character is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.
Parkhurst, Charles H.
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.
Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.
While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.
Mason, John L.
A man's character is his fate.
Heraclitus
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Lincoln, Abraham
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
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.
It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.
Howell, Harry
Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.
Elmer G. Letterman
Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Hepburn, Katharine
Let us not say, every man is the architect of his own fortune; but let us say, every man is the architect of his own character.
Boardman, George D.
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
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.
Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.
Michener, James A.
The character of every act depends upon the circumstances in which it is done.
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
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
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard
Nothing marks the character of a young man more than failure.
We falsely attribute to men a determined character -- putting together all their yesterdays -- and averaging them -- we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support -- it is worse than a large family -- he is the silent poor indeed.
Thoreau, Henry David
Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert
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
If anyone tells you someone has changed their character; don't believe it.
Mohammed
Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down with incredible swiftness.
Baldwin, Faith
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
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus
