Character Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Character

1.
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Hepburn, Katharine

2.
A man's character is his fate.
Heraclitus

3.
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin

4.
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus

5.
Character - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life - is the source from which self respect springs.
Joan Didion

6.
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.

7.
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

8.
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.
Hermann Hesse

9.
Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence.
Elihu Burritt

10.
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

11.
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

12.
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya

13.
Character is the sum and total of a person's choices.
Fitzwater, P. B.

14.
Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert

15.
Weakness of character is the only defect which cannot be amended.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De

16.
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince

17.
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

18.
Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.
Elmer G. Letterman

19.
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

20.
Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses.
Crisp, Quentin

21.
Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

22.
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

23.
The highest qualities of character must be earned.
Abbott, Lyman

24.
While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.
Mason, John L.

25.
Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity.

26.
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.

27.
Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man.
Frankfurter, Felix

28.
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Bisset, Jacqueline

29.
If a man character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business.
Thackeray, William M.

30.
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
Solon

31.
Character is to man what carbon is to steel.
Hill, Napoleon

32.
Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

33.
Character development is the aim of education.
O'Shea

34.
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African

35.
It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.
Howell, Harry

36.
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

37.
If anyone tells you someone has changed their character; don't believe it.
Mohammed

Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
Proverb
