Best Quotes about Character

1.
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les

2.
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

3.
They attack the one man with their hate and their shower of weapons. But he is like some rock which stretches into the vast sea and which, exposed to the fury of the winds and beaten against by the waves, endures all the violence
Virgil

4.
Character matters; leadership descends from character.
Limbaugh, Rush

Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius

6.
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David

Akhenaton

8.
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids.
Aristotle

9.
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett

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

11.
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

12.
Character in a saint means the disposition of Jesus Christ persistently manifested.
Chambers, Oswald

W. Somerset Maugham

Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
Solon

15.
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

16.
The happiness of every country depends upon the character of its people, rather than the form of its government.
Haliburton, Thomas C.

17.
Weakness of character is the only defect which cannot be amended.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

18.
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert

19.
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

20.
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

21.
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.

22.
Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

28.
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava

If anyone tells you someone has changed their character; don't believe it.
Mohammed

30.
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse

Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

32.
Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.
Michener, James A.

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

Hill, Napoleon

35.
It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate -- to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance.
Jefferson, Thomas

36.
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Aquinas, St. Thomas

37.
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline

38.
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

39.
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus

40.
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.

Maurois, Andre

45.
Good character is like a rubber ball -- thrown down hard -- it bounces right back. Good reputation is like a crystal ball -- thrown for gain -- shattered and cracked.
Linall Jr. A. L.

46.
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

47.
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

48.
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

49.
I have only got down on to paper, really, three types of people: the person I think I am, the people who irritate me, and the people I'd like to be.
Forster, Edward M.

50.
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
