Best Quotes about Character

1.
Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
Royal, Darrell

2.
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

3.
If anyone tells you someone has changed their character; don't believe it.
Mohammed

4.
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James A. Froude

5.
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio

6.
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

7.
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant

8.
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

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.

10.
Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb

11.
Character is a victory, not a gift.

12.
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.

13.
The superior man will watch over himself when he is alone. He examines his heart that there may be nothing wrong there, and that he may have no cause of dissatisfaction with himself.
Confucius

14.
It is better for the development of character and contentment to do certain things badly for yourself than to have them done better for you by someone else.

15.
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

16.
I could never think well of a man's intellectual or moral character, if he was habitually unfaithful to his appointments.
Nathaniel Emmons

17.
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince

18.
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman

19.
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Lincoln, Abraham

20.
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.
Thomas, John M.

21.
Not to be cheered by praise, not to be grieved by blame, but to know thoroughly ones own virtues or powers are the characteristics of an excellent man.
Pandita, Saskya

22.
It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

Confucius

Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

25.
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert

26.
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

27.
Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.
Sivananda, Sri Swami

28.
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
Menander

29.
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African

Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides

31.
Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down with incredible swiftness.

Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.

38.
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya

Richard Greenberg

43.
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly

44.
That which we call character is a reserved force which acts directly by presence, and without means. It is conceived of as a certain undemonstrable force, a familiar or genius, by whose impulses the man is guided, but whose counsels he cannot impart.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

45.
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

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
