Best Quotes about Character
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David
Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world.
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
For character too is a process and an unfolding... among our valued friends is there not someone or other who is a little too self confident and disdainful; whose distinguished mind is a little spotted with commonness; who is a little pinched here and protuberant there with native prejudices; or whose better energies are liable to lapse down the wrong channel under the influence of transient solicitations?
Eliot, George
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
It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.
Howell, Harry
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Hepburn, Katharine
As fire when thrown into water is cooled down and put out, so also a false accusation when brought against a man of the purest and holiest character, boils over and is at once dissipated, and vanishes and threats of heaven and sea, himself standing unmoved.
Cicero, Marcus T.
It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
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 always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity.
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.
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.
Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
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.
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman
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 simply habit long continued.
Plutarch
Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
Abraham Lincoln
Character is a victory, not a gift.
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
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline
Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character.
Robbins, Anthony
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio
Character builds slowly, but it can be torn down with incredible swiftness.
Baldwin, Faith
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
It is better for the development of character and contentment to do certain things badly for yourself than to have them done better for you by someone else.
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
Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
Between ourselves and our real natures we interpose that wax figure of idealizations and selections which we call our character.
Lippmann, Walter
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.
Character is like the foundation of a house -- it is below the surface.
Instill the love of you into all the world, for a good character is what is remembered.
Merikare
Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconcious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character
Covey, Stephen R.
Character in a saint means the disposition of Jesus Christ persistently manifested.
Chambers, Oswald
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
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
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco
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
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. [Proverbs 23:7]
Bible
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William
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
Football doesn't build character. It eliminates weak ones.
Royal, Darrell
