Character

The hell to be endured hereafter, of which theology tells, is no worse than the hell we make for ourselves in this world by habitually fashioned our characters in the wrong way.
- James, William
Character Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Character

1.
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

2.
Character is like the foundation of a house -- it is below the surface.

3.
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.

4.
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese

5.
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon

6.
Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert

7.
Instill the love of you into all the world, for a good character is what is remembered.
Merikare

8.
To succeed is nothing -- it's an accident. But to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Leneru, Marie

9.
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

10.
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.
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya

12.
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

13.
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

14.
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

15.
Between ourselves and our real natures we interpose that wax figure of idealizations and selections which we call our character.
Lippmann, Walter

16.
Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
Abraham Lincoln

17.
It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

18.
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

19.
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.

20.
I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune, while character comes from within.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

21.
You can't go around hoping that most people have sterling moral characters. The most you can hope for is that people will pretend that they do.
Lebowitz, Fran

22.
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava

23.
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire

24.
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

25.
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus

26.
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

27.
You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans.
Reagan, Ronald

28.
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly

29.
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

30.
Character is to man what carbon is to steel.
Hill, Napoleon

31.
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

32.
Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

33.
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.

34.
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.

35.
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.

36.
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.

37.
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les

38.
Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.
Landers, Ann

39.
Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character.
Robbins, Anthony

40.
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David

41.
Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.
Michener, James A.

42.
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin

43.
Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

44.
What you possess in the world will be found at the day of your death to belong to someone else. But what you are will be yours forever.
Dyke, Henry Van

45.
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William

46.
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline

47.
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.
Thomas, John M.

48.
You can buy a person's time; you can buy their physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of their skilled muscular motions per hour. But you can not buy enthusiasm... you can not buy loyalty. You can not buy the devotion of hearts, minds, or souls. You must earn these.
Francis, Clarence

49.
There is no greater index of character so sure as the voice.
Disraeli, Benjamin

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
