You
cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer
and forge yourself one.
Henry David Thoreau
Be
your character what it will, it will be known, and nobody
will take it upon your word.
Lord Chesterfield
Reputation
is what men and women think of us; character is what
God and angels know of us.
Thomas Paine
Nothing
of character is really permanent but virtue and personal
worth.
Daniel Webster
The
essential thing is not knowledge, but character.
Joseph Le Conte
It
requires less character to discover the faults of others,
than to tolerate them.
J. Petit Senn
A
good name will shine forever.
Proverb
A
fair reputation is a plant, delicate in its nature,
and by no means rapid in its growth. It will not shoot
up in a night like the gourd of the prophet; but, like
that gourd, it may perish in a night.
Jeremy Taylor
Sow
an act, and you reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap
a character; sow a character, and you reap a destiny.
George Dana Boardman
Talents
are best nurtured in solitude. Character is best formed
in the stormy billows of the world.
Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Our
character is but the stamp on our souls of the free
choices of good and evil we have made through life.
John C. Geikie
Reputation
is for time; character is for eternity.
J. B. Gough
Character
is a diamond that scratches every other stone.
Cyrus A. Bartol
Talents
are best nurtured in solitude, but character is best
formed in the stormy billows of the world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Men
best show their character in trifles, where they are
not on their guard. It is in the simplest habits, that
we often see the boundless egotism which pays no regard
to the feelings of others and denies nothing to itself.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Every
man, as to character, is the creature of the age in
which he lives. Very few are able to raise themselves
above the ideas of their times.
Voltaire
Character
and personal force are the only investments that are
worth anything.
Walt Whitman
Character
is, for the most part,
simply habit become fixed.
C. H. Parkhurst
Let
us not say, Every man is the architect of his own fortune;
but let us say, Every man is the architect of his own
character.
George Dana Boardman
Character
is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong
to live, as well as strong to think.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Such
as are thy habitual thoughts, such also will be the
character of thy mind; for the soul is dyed by the thoughts.
Marcus Aurelius
