Motivational Quotes
Character
In attempts to improve your character, know what is in your power and what is beyond it.

Best Quotes about Character
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
Solon
Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin
If a man character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.
Thackeray, William M.
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.
If anyone tells you someone has changed their character; don't believe it.
Mohammed
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
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.
Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.
Elmer G. Letterman
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William
Honor is the inner garment of the Soul; the first thing put on by it with the flesh, and the last it layeth down at its separation from it.
Akhenaton
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
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman
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
There is no greater index of character so sure as the voice.
Disraeli, Benjamin
When God measures man, He puts the tape around his heart -- not his head.
Guideposts
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
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire
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
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
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides
Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.
Collins, Marva
Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb
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
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
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
The lord will not hold back the promises, even if the person who makes them is not worthy.
Character in a saint means the disposition of Jesus Christ persistently manifested.
Chambers, Oswald
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus
If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.
Proverb, Chinese
Character is simply habit long continued.
Plutarch
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
Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him.
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.
Howell, Harry
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
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.
Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
Character is to man what carbon is to steel.
Hill, Napoleon
Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses.
Crisp, Quentin
The formation of one's character ought to be everyone's chief aim.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
