Washington, Booker T.
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.

The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: initiative, imagination, individuality, and independence.

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

Churchill, Winston
Character - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life - is the source from which self respect springs.
Joan Didion
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
Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him.
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire
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
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
The lord will not hold back the promises, even if the person who makes them is not worthy.
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus
You must look into people, as well as at them.
Chesterfield, Lord
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
