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

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.

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
Character develops itself in the stream of life.

Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses.
Crisp, Quentin
Weakness of character is the only defect which cannot be amended.
La Rochefoucauld, Francois De
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African
You are not very good if you are not better than your best friends imagine you to be.
Lavater, Johann Kaspar
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William
