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

Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down with incredible swiftness.
Baldwin, Faith
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William
Character is a victory, not a gift.
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
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
I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune, while character comes from within.

Maritain, Jacques
While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.
Mason, John L.
Character matters; leadership descends from character.
Limbaugh, Rush
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Richter, Jean Paul
He that has light within his own clear breast may sit in the center, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts benighted walks under the mid-day sun;
Milton, John
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David
Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.
Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man.
Frankfurter, Felix
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.
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio
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
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
Solon
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard
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
You must look into people, as well as at them.

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