Best Quotes about Character
Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you weren't born with and must take responsibility for forming.
Rohn, Jim
Men show their character in nothing more clearly than what they think laughable.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
You must look into people, as well as at them.
Chesterfield, Lord
Our character...is an omen of our destiny, and the more integrity we have and keep, the simpler and nobler that destiny is likely to be.
George Santayana
Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
They attack the one man with their hate and their shower of weapons. But he is like some rock which stretches into the vast sea and which, exposed to the fury of the winds and beaten against by the waves, endures all the violence
Virgil
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus
To have character is to be big enough to take life on.
Richards, Mary Caroline
Character matters; leadership descends from character.
Limbaugh, Rush
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.
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.
Lebowitz, Fran
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.
We falsely attribute to men a determined character -- putting together all their yesterdays -- and averaging them -- we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support -- it is worse than a large family -- he is the silent poor indeed.
Thoreau, Henry David
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire
Fame is what you have taken, character is what you give. When to this truth you awaken, then you begin to live.
Taylor, Bayard
Talents are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von
How difficult it is to save the bark of reputation from the rocks of ignorance.
Petrarch, Francesco
Success is always temporary. When all is said and one, the only thing you'll have left is your character.
Gill, Vince
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James A. Froude
Character is to man what carbon is to steel.
Hill, Napoleon
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides
During my eighty-seven years, I have witnessed a whole succession of technological revolutions. But none of them has done away with the need for character in the individual or the ability to think.
Baruch, Bernard M.
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
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Goldsmith, Oliver
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
Shakespeare, William
I have only got down on to paper, really, three types of people: the person I think I am, the people who irritate me, and the people I'd like to be.
Forster, Edward M.
It isn't the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, that counts.
Howell, Harry
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.
It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate -- to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance.
Jefferson, Thomas
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
I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
King Jr. Martin Luther
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Richter, Jean Paul
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
Nothing marks the character of a young man more than failure.
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.
Temperance is simply a disposition of the mind which binds the passion.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
The four cornerstones of character on which the structure of this nation was built are: initiative, imagination, individuality, and independence.
Rickenbacker, Edward Vernon
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
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
Menander
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
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
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio
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
To succeed is nothing -- it's an accident. But to feel no doubts about oneself is something very different: it is character.
Leneru, Marie
Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.
Greeley, Horace
Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good.
Landers, Ann
In attempts to improve your character, know what is in your power and what is beyond it.
Francis Thompson
