Best Quotes about Character
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides
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.
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco
The man who cannot believe in himself cannot believe in anything else. The basis of all integrity and character is whatever faith we have in our own integrity.
Smith, Roy L.
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. [Proverbs 23:7]
Bible
You must look into people, as well as at them.
Chesterfield, Lord
While he was not as dumb as an ox, he was not any smarter either.
Thurber, James
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
Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew
Underneath this flabby exterior is an enormous lack of character.
Oscar Levant
Few persons are made of such strong fiber that they will make a costly outlay when surface work will pass as well in the market.
Bounds, E. M.
If a man character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.
Thackeray, William M.
Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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
Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
I could never think well of a man's intellectual or moral character, if he was habitually unfaithful to his appointments.
Nathaniel Emmons
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
Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
Royal, Darrell
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James A. Froude
An excellent man, like precious metal, is in every way invariable; A villain, like the beams of a balance, is always varying, upwards and downwards, himself his own dungeon.
Pandita, Saskya
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
Menander
Honor is the inner garment of the Soul; the first thing put on by it with the flesh, and the last it layeth down at its separation from it.
Akhenaton
Nothing marks the character of a young man more than failure.
It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate -- to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance.
Jefferson, Thomas
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
I have often thought the best way to define a man's character would be to seek out the particular mental or moral attitude in which, when it comes upon him, he felt himself most deeply and intensely active and alive. At such moments there is a voice inside which speaks and says: This is the real me!.
James, William
It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea
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
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
If anyone tells you someone has changed their character; don't believe it.
Mohammed
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.
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids.
Aristotle
Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.
Cicero
The lord will not hold back the promises, even if the person who makes them is not worthy.
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
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African
There is never a better measure of what a person is than what he does when he is absolutely free to choose.
Bulger, William M.
We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
Thoreau, Henry David
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman
No artist work is so high, so noble, so grand, so enduring, so important for all time, as the making of character in a child.
Cushman, Charlotte Saunders
To succeed is nothing -- it's an accident. But to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Leneru, Marie
Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.
