Motivational Quotes
Character
One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Best Quotes about Character
Few people can distinguish the genuinely good from the reverse.
Juvenal, (Decimus Junius Juvenalis)
Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
Royal, Darrell
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.
Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Disraeli, Benjamin
Our character...is an omen of our destiny, and the more integrity we have and keep, the simpler and nobler that destiny is likely to be.
George Santayana
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African
Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.
Michener, James A.
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
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince
It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate -- to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance.
Jefferson, Thomas
Between ourselves and our real natures we interpose that wax figure of idealizations and selections which we call our character.
Lippmann, Walter
Character is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.
Parkhurst, Charles H.
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David
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
Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
Reputation is only a candle, of wavering and uncertain flame, and easily blown out, but it is the light by which the world looks for and finds merit.
Lowell, James Russell
Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
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
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
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
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
You can buy a person's time; you can buy their physical presence at a given place; you can even buy a measured number of their skilled muscular motions per hour. But you can not buy enthusiasm... you can not buy loyalty. You can not buy the devotion of hearts, minds, or souls. You must earn these.
Francis, Clarence
While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.
Mason, John L.
One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Proverb
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
Character is like the foundation of a house -- it is below the surface.
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio
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.
Character is another thing that is formed in youth and reformed in marriage.
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
Character is made by many acts; it may be lost by a single one.
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.
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya
Let us not say, every man is the architect of his own fortune; but let us say, every man is the architect of his own character.
Boardman, George D.
You must look into people, as well as at them.
Chesterfield, Lord
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire
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
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.
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline
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
Character in a saint means the disposition of Jesus Christ persistently manifested.
Chambers, Oswald
Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.
Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity.
Strong feelings do not necessarily make a strong character. The strength of a man is to be measured by the power of the feelings he subdues not by the power of those which subdue him.
William Carleton
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
Solon
