Motivational Quotes
Character
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Best Quotes about Character
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
Integrity has no need of rules.
Camus, Albert
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
Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life, for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves.
Trotsky, Leon
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
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
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William
You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans.
Reagan, Ronald
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Character is victory organized.
Bonaparte, Napoleon
While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.
Mason, John L.
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese
We falsely attribute to men a determined character -- putting together all their yesterdays -- and averaging them -- we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support -- it is worse than a large family -- he is the silent poor indeed.
Thoreau, Henry David
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
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio
Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of a man you are. It shows me what your ideal of manhood is, and what kind of a man you long to be.
Carlyle, Thomas
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides
You must regulate your life by the standards you admire when you are at your best.
Thomas, John M.
The happiness of every country depends upon the character of its people, rather than the form of its government.
Haliburton, Thomas C.
Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity.
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.
One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Proverb
The formation of one's character ought to be everyone's chief aim.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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.
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Richter, Jean Paul
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
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.
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
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African
When God measures man, He puts the tape around his heart -- not his head.
Guideposts
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
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.
Character is a victory, not a gift.
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
The superior man will watch over himself when he is alone. He examines his heart that there may be nothing wrong there, and that he may have no cause of dissatisfaction with himself.
Confucius
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
You can tell the character of every man when you see how he receives praise.
Seneca
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
Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him.
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus
A man's character is his fate.
Heraclitus
Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.
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 is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.
Parkhurst, Charles H.
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
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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.
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David
