Best Quotes about Character

1.
Character is our destiny.
Heraclitus

2.
Character is not made in a crisis -- it is only exhibited.
Freeman, Robert

3.
Few persons are made of such strong fiber that they will make a costly outlay when surface work will pass as well in the market.
Bounds, E. M.

4.
It is with trifles and when he is off guard that a man best reveals his character.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

5.
Men show their characters in nothing more clearly than in what they think laughable.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

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

7.
Character is formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Goethe, Johann Wolfgang Von

8.
Deep down, I'm pretty superficial.
Gardner, Ava

9.
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

10.
While he was not as dumb as an ox, he was not any smarter either.
Thurber, James

11.
We don't love qualities, we love persons; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as of their qualities.
Maritain, Jacques

12.
People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.
Hermann Hesse

13.
Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
Richter, Jean Paul

14.
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.

15.
The only way to compel men to speak good of us is to do it.
Voltaire

16.
The lord will not hold back the promises, even if the person who makes them is not worthy.

17.
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.

18.
I could never think well of a man's intellectual or moral character, if he was habitually unfaithful to his appointments.
Nathaniel Emmons

19.
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

20.
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

21.
A man with a so-called character is often a simple piece of mechanism; he has often only one point of view for the extremely complicated relationships of life.
Strindberg, J. August

22.
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

23.
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.

24.
The hell to be endured hereafter, of which theology tells, is no worse than the hell we make for ourselves in this world by habitually fashioned our characters in the wrong way.
James, William

25.
The higher character a person supports the more they should regard their smallest actions.

26.
To be fond of learning is near to wisdom; to practice with vigor is near to benevolence; and to be conscious of shame is near to fortitude. He who knows these three things
Confucius

27.
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
James A. Froude

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

Chambers, Oswald

Temperance is a tree which as for its root very little contentment, and for its fruit calm and peace.
Buddha

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

Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

Drummond, Henry

39.
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

Maurois, Andre

Angelou, Maya

48.
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

49.
You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips.
Goldsmith, Oliver

50.
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
