Character Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Character

1.
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

2.
Nothing marks the character of a young man more than failure.

3.
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

4.
The happiness of every country depends upon the character of its people, rather than the form of its government.
Haliburton, Thomas C.

5.
You don't get in life what you want; you get in life what you are.
Brown, Les

6.
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

7.
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

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

Confucius

10.
Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.
Collins, Marva

11.
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.
Strindberg, J. August

12.
Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself. He imposes his own stamp of action, takes responsibility for it, makes it his own.
Gaulle, Charles De

13.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
Wooden, John

14.
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco

15.
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
Akhenaton

16.
Character is like the foundation of a house -- it is below the surface.

17.
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.

18.
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya

19.
Character matters; leadership descends from character.
Limbaugh, Rush

20.
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

21.
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
Menander

22.
Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.
Keller, Helen

23.
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

24.
While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.
Mason, John L.

25.
In attempts to improve your character, know what is in your power and what is beyond it.
Francis Thompson

26.
Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin

27.
A man's character is the reality of himself; his reputation, the opinion others have formed about him; character resides in him, reputation in other people; that is the substance, this is the shadow.
Beecher, Henry Ward

28.
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.

29.
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

30.
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids.
Aristotle

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.
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.

37.
Character in a saint means the disposition of Jesus Christ persistently manifested.
Chambers, Oswald

38.
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

39.
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James A. Froude

40.

Camus, Albert

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

Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb

Boardman, George D.

49.
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.
