James, William

Strindberg, J. August

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

24.
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

25.
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

26.

Cushman, Charlotte Saunders

27.
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

29.
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Lincoln, Abraham

It is not what he had, or even what he does which expresses the worth of a man, but what he is.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

31.
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

32.
Good character is like a rubber ball -- thrown down hard -- it bounces right back. Good reputation is like a crystal ball -- thrown for gain -- shattered and cracked.
Linall Jr. A. L.

33.
Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.
Elmer G. Letterman

34.
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard

35.
It is well for the world that in most of us, by the age of thirty, the character has set like plaster, and will never soften again.
James, William

36.
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.

Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides

46.
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.

47.
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

48.
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

49.
Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it piece by piece-by thought, choice, courage and determination.
Luther, John

50.
Character is made by many acts; it may be lost by a single one.
