Character

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 Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Character

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

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

Sometimes people carry to such perfection the mask they have assumed that in due course they actually become the person they seem.
W. Somerset Maugham

10.
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

11.
The happiness of every country depends upon the character of its people, rather than the form of its government.

Plautus, Titus Maccius

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

17.
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David

18.
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

19.
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Aquinas, St. Thomas

20.
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya

21.
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard

The best index to a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back.
Buren, Abigail Van

23.
Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.
Churchill, Winston

24.
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew

You can tell a lot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jelly beans.
Reagan, Ronald

26.
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius

27.
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

28.
Character is the impulse reined down into steady continuance.
Parkhurst, Charles H.

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

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

36.
Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.
Elmer G. Letterman

37.
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

38.
The real character of a man is found out by his amusements.
Reynolds, Sir Joshua

39.
The hell to be endured hereafter, of which theology tells, is no worse than the hell we make for ourselves in this world by habitually fashioned our characters in the wrong way.
James, William

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

47.
Character is to man what carbon is to steel.
Hill, Napoleon

48.
Character matters; leadership descends from character.
Limbaugh, Rush

49.
It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.
