Best Quotes about Character

1.
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

2.
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.

3.
I have often thought the best way to define a man's character would be to seek out the particular mental or moral attitude in which, when it comes upon him, he felt himself most deeply and intensely active and alive. At such moments there is a voice inside which speaks and says: This is the real me!.
James, William

4.
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.

5.
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

6.
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline

One can acquire everything in solitude - except character.
Marie Henri Beyle

8.
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline

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

10.
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince

11.
I could never think well of a man's intellectual or moral character, if he was habitually unfaithful to his appointments.
Nathaniel Emmons

12.
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
Solon

13.
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

14.
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

15.
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

16.
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.

17.
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant

18.
Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.
Rohn, Jim

19.
You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans.
Reagan, Ronald

20.
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James A. Froude

21.
If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.
Proverb, Chinese

22.
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David

23.
It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.
Howell, Harry

24.
In attempts to improve your character, know what is in your power and what is beyond it.
Francis Thompson

25.
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

26.
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.

27.
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

28.
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio

29.
When about to commit a base deed, respect thyself, though there is no witness.
Ausonius, Decimus Magnus

30.
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Hepburn, Katharine

31.
Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

32.
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

33.
Few persons are made of such strong fiber that they will make a costly outlay when surface work will pass as well in the market.
Bounds, E. M.

34.
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

35.
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

Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin

Thackeray, William M.

40.

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

42.
Temperance is a tree which as for its root very little contentment, and for its fruit calm and peace.
Buddha

A man with a so-called character is often a simple piece of mechanism; he has often only one point of view for the extremely complicated relationships of life.
