Character

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

Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.

16.
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua

17.

28.
Character is simply habit long continued.
Plutarch

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

32.
Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert

33.
Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses.
Crisp, Quentin
