4.
It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate -- to surmount every difficulty by resolution and contrivance.
Jefferson, Thomas

5.
Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.
Proverb, Chinese

6.
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

7.
Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.

8.

9.
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work.
Marden, Orison Swett

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

16.
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly

17.

Aquinas, St. Thomas

Emerson, Ralph Waldo

25.
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

26.
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

27.
One stumble is enough to deface the character of an honorable life.
Estrange, L.

28.
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew

29.
I appreciate people who are civil, whether they mean it or not. I think: Be civil. Do not cherish your opinion over my feelings. There's a vanity to candor that isn't really worth it. Be kind.
Richard Greenberg

30.
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

While an original is always hard to find, he is easy to recognize.
Mason, John L.

34.
Too many lives are needed to make just one.
Montale, Eugenio

35.
I have often thought the best way to define a man's character would be to seek out the particular mental or moral attitude in which, when it comes upon him, he felt himself most deeply and intensely active and alive. At such moments there is a voice inside which speaks and says: This is the real me!.
James, William

36.
If anyone tells you someone has changed their character; don't believe it.

Amiel, Henri Frederic

42.
Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids.

Look, we're all the same; a man is a fourteen-room house --in the bedroom he's asleep with his intelligent wife, in the living-room he's rolling around with some bareass girl, in the library he's paying his taxes, in the yard he's raising tomatoes, and in the cellar he's making a bomb to blow it all up.
Miller, Arthur
