Best Quotes about Character

1.
Character is another thing that is formed in youth and reformed in marriage.

2.
When God measures man, He puts the tape around his heart -- not his head.
Guideposts

3.
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

4.
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

5.
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco

6.
Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.
Greeley, Horace

7.
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

8.
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

9.
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus

10.
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Goldsmith, Oliver

11.
During my eighty-seven years, I have witnessed a whole succession of technological revolutions. But none of them has done away with the need for character in the individual or the ability to think.
Baruch, Bernard M.

12.
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

13.
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.

14.
Character is made by many acts; it may be lost by a single one.

15.
Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.

16.
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

17.
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline

18.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
Wooden, John

19.
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett

20.
Therefore keep in the midst of life. Do not isolate yourself. Be among men and things, and among troubles, and difficulties, and obstacles.
Drummond, Henry

21.
To succeed is nothing -- it's an accident. But to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Leneru, Marie

22.
Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

23.
Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him.

24.
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar

25.
Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses.
Crisp, Quentin

26.
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese

27.
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.

28.
Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man.
Frankfurter, Felix

29.
For character too is a process and an unfolding... among our valued friends is there not someone or other who is a little too self confident and disdainful; whose distinguished mind is a little spotted with commonness; who is a little pinched here and protuberant there with native prejudices; or whose better energies are liable to lapse down the wrong channel under the influence of transient solicitations?
Eliot, George

30.
An excellent man, like precious metal, is in every way invariable; A villain, like the beams of a balance, is always varying, upwards and downwards, himself his own dungeon.
Pandita, Saskya

31.
Honor is the inner garment of the Soul; the first thing put on by it with the flesh, and the last it layeth down at its separation from it.
Akhenaton

32.
Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

33.
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African

34.
If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.
Proverb, Chinese

35.
Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

36.
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.
Thomas, John M.

37.
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

38.
The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: initiative, imagination, individuality, and independence.
Rickenbacker, Edward Vernon

39.
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire

40.
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.

Luther, John

47.
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
Seneca

48.
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les
