Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
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

Surmounting difficulty is the crucible that forms character.
Robbins, Anthony
I would rather be adorned by beauty of character than jewels. Jewels are the gift of fortune, while character comes from within.

Babson, Roger
There's a fine line between character building and soul destroying.
Hay, Colin
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
Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.
Michener, James A.
It takes a great deal of character strength to apologize quickly out of one's heart rather than out of pity. A person must possess himself and have a deep sense of security in fundamental principles and values in order to genuinely apologize.
Covey, Stephen R.
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.
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio
Character - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life - is the source from which self respect springs.
