Best Quotes about Character

1.
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

2.
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.

3.
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

4.
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea

5.
If an ass goes traveling it will not come home a horse.
Proverb

6.
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

7.
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

8.
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Lincoln, Abraham

9.
Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.
Rohn, Jim

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.
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

12.
If all I'm remembered for is being a good basketball player, then I've done a bad job with the rest of my life.
Thomas, Isiah

13.
Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.

14.
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco

15.
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

16.
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman

17.
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.

18.
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.

19.
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius

20.
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.

21.
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese

22.
Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin

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.
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

25.
I have conquered an empire but I have not been able to conquer myself.
Peter The Great

26.
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

27.
Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.
Collins, Marva

28.
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.
Shakespeare, William

29.
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

30.
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David

31.
Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.
Greeley, Horace

32.
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.

33.
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

34.
Those who cross the sea change only the climate, not their character.
Horace

35.
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

36.
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
Lubbock, Sir John

37.
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Hepburn, Katharine

38.
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

39.
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Richter, Jean Paul

40.
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline

41.
The happiness of every country depends upon the character of its people, rather than the form of its government.
Haliburton, Thomas C.

42.
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.
Hermann Hesse

43.
Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert

44.
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

45.
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus

46.
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

47.
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

48.
Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
