Best Quotes about Character
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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 consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.
Michener, James A.
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques
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
It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
When God measures man, He puts the tape around his heart -- not his head.
Guideposts
One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.
Proverb
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
Lincoln, Abraham
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.
In attempts to improve your character, know what is in your power and what is beyond it.
Francis Thompson
Be thou incapable of change in that which is right, and men will rely upon thee. Establish unto thyself principles of action; and see that thou ever act according to them. First know that thy principles are just, and then be thou
Akhenaton
Wherever man goes to dwell his character goes with him.
Proverb, African
Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.
Cicero
Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have.
Collins, Marva
Character develops itself in the stream of life.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
Forming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence.
Elihu Burritt
The quality of strength lined with tenderness is an unbeatable combination, as are intelligence and necessity when unblunted by formal education.
Angelou, Maya
No artist work is so high, so noble, so grand, so enduring, so important for all time, as the making of character in a child.
Cushman, Charlotte Saunders
Character in a saint means the disposition of Jesus Christ persistently manifested.
Chambers, Oswald
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Goldsmith, Oliver
Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.
While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.
Mason, John L.
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince
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
The superior man will watch over himself when he is alone. He examines his heart that there may be nothing wrong there, and that he may have no cause of dissatisfaction with himself.
Confucius
Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.
Tacitus, Publius Cornelius
A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard
Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity.
Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principles.
Hume, David
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
The lord will not hold back the promises, even if the person who makes them is not worthy.
Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
To succeed is nothing -- it's an accident. But to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Leneru, Marie
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 must look into people, as well as at them.
Chesterfield, Lord
Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him.
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Hepburn, Katharine
One can acquire everything in solitude - except character.
Marie Henri Beyle
Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.
Solon
People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of their character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established.
Confucius
Gross and obscure natures, however decorated, seem impure shambles; but character gives splendor to youth, and awe to wrinkled skin and gray hairs.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Testimony is like an arrow shot from a long bow and the force of it depends on the strength of the arm from which it was shot. Argument is like a bullet fired from a gun and has equal force even when issued from a child.
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Richter, Jean Paul
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio
Some people are born hammers, others anvils.
