- Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.
Character Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Character

1.
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.

2.
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

3.
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman

One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Proverb

6.
If anyone tells you someone has changed their character; don't believe it.
Mohammed

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

8.
Character - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life - is the source from which self respect springs.
Joan Didion

9.
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.

10.
Character is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

11.
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya

12.
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

13.
Character matters; leadership descends from character.
Limbaugh, Rush

14.
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

15.
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

16.
Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.
Sivananda, Sri Swami

17.
Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

18.
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew

Between ourselves and our real natures we interpose that wax figure of idealizations and selections which we call our character.
Lippmann, Walter

Frankfurter, Felix

21.
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly

22.
Your character will be what you yourself choose to make it.
Lubbock, Sir John

23.
Pity the man who has a character to support --it is worse than a large family -- he is silent poor indeed.
Thoreau, Henry David

24.
They attack the one man with their hate and their shower of weapons. But he is like some rock which stretches into the vast sea and which, exposed to the fury of the winds and beaten against by the waves, endures all the violence
Virgil

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.
Gross and obscure natures, however decorated, seem impure shambles; but character gives splendor to youth, and awe to wrinkled skin and gray hairs.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

27.
Those who cross the sea change only the climate, not their character.
Horace

28.

Aristotle

32.
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava

33.
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

34.
Everyone has three characters, that which they exhibit, that which they have, and that which they think they have.
Karr, Alphonse

35.
It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.
Howell, Harry

36.
While he was not as dumb as an ox, he was not any smarter either.
Thurber, James

37.
If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.
Proverb, Chinese

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.
While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.
Mason, John L.

40.
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

41.
He that has light within his own clear breast may sit in the center, and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts benighted walks under the mid-day sun;
Milton, John

42.
Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that thy principles are just, and then be thou

Rohn, Jim

47.
I appreciate people who are civil, whether they mean it or not. I think: Be civil. Do not cherish your opinion over my feelings. There's a vanity to candor that isn't really worth it. Be kind.
Richard Greenberg

48.
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.

49.
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

50.
It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one's heart rather than out of pity. A person must possess himself and have a deep sense of security in fundamental principles and values in order to genuinely apologize.
Covey, Stephen R.
