Best Quotes about Character
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
If you create an act, you create a habit. If you create a habit, you create a character. If you create a character, you create a destiny.
Maurois, Andre
In attempts to improve your character, know what is in your power and what is beyond it.
Francis Thompson
There is never a better measure of what a person is than what he does when he is absolutely free to choose.
Bulger, William M.
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus
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
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
I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
King Jr. Martin Luther
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides
Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett
Character is like the foundation of a house -- it is below the surface.
Our character...is an omen of our destiny, and the more integrity we have and keep, the simpler and nobler that destiny is likely to be.
George Santayana

Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
A man never discloses his own character so clearly as when he describes another s.
Richter, Jean Paul
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
Solon
Temperance is a tree which as for its root very little contentment, and for its fruit calm and peace.
Buddha
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
Menander
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.
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
Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down with incredible swiftness.
Baldwin, Faith
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Lincoln, Abraham
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les
Few people can distinguish the genuinely good from the reverse.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
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
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius
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
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert
Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
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.
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
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman
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
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly
Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.
Collins, Marva
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
Lubbock, Sir John
Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.
Shakespeare, William
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.
Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
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
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant
