Richter, Jean Paul
Character, not circumstances, makes the man.
Washington, Booker T.
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.
To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.
Hepburn, Katharine
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.
Shakespeare, William
Though intelligence is powerless to modify character, it is a dab hand at finding euphemisms for its weaknesses.

Smith, Roy L.
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
Personality can open doors, but only character can keep them open.
Elmer G. Letterman
A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you, and were helped by you, will remember you when forget-me-nots are withered. Carve your name on hearts, and not on marble
Spurgeon, Charles Haddon
Clothes don't tell the character of the man, but they just as well talk for him as against him.
Therefore keep in the midst of life. Do not isolate yourself. Be among men and things, and among troubles, and difficulties, and obstacles.

Chesterfield, Lord
Judge of your natural character by what you do in dreams.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
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
The character of a man is known from his conversations.
Menander
Between ourselves and our real natures we interpose that wax figure of idealizations and selections which we call our character.
Lippmann, Walter
Character is a by-product; it is produced in the great manufacture of daily duty.
Wilson, Woodrow T.
Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of a man you are. It shows me what your ideal of manhood is, and what kind of a man you long to be.
Carlyle, Thomas
I take it as a man's duty to restrain himself.
Lois McMaster Bujold
Old age and sickness bring out the essential characteristics of a man.
Frankfurter, Felix
Before you advise anyone Be yourself! reassess his character.
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.
A man without ethics is a wild beast loosed upon this world.
Hall, Manly
A man's character is the reality of himself; his reputation, the opinion others have formed about him; character resides in him, reputation in other people; that is the substance, this is the shadow.
Beecher, Henry Ward

Cicero
All men are alike in their lower natures; it is in their higher characters that they differ.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
Character - the willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life - is the source from which self respect springs.
Joan Didion
Integrity has no need of rules.

Wealth stays with us a little moment if at all: only our characters are steadfast, not our gold.
Euripides
Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident, and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character.
Greeley, Horace
A rich man has no need of character.
Proverb, Hebrew
