Quotations by Subject: Character (40 quotes)

Results from Laura Moncur's Motivational Quotations:

The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character; So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love Born out of concern for all beings… As the shadow follows the body, As we think, so we become.: Buddha (563 BC - 483 BC), Dhammapada
What has a man's face to do with his character? Can a man of good character help having a disagreeable face?: Ann Radcliffe (1764 - 1823), The Mysteries of Udolpho, 1764

The elevation of appearance over substance, of celebrity over character, of short term gains over lasting achievement displays a poverty of ambition. It distracts you from what's truly important.: Barack Obama (1961 - ), Arizona State Commencement Speech, 2009
The most difficult part of writing a book is not devising a plot which will captivate the reader. It's not developing characters the reader will have strong feelings for or against. It is not finding a setting which will take the reader to a place he or she as never been. It is not the research, whether in fiction or non-fiction. The most difficult task facing a writer is to find the voice in which to tell the story.: Randy Pausch, Carnegie Mellon Commencement Speech, 2008

Voices that loud are always meant to bully. Do not be bullied. Acts of bravery don't always take place on battlefields. They can take place in your heart, when you have the courage to honor your character, your intellect, your inclinations, and, yes your soul by listening to its clean, clear voice of direction instead of following the muddied messages of a timid world.: Anna Quindlen (1953 - )
There's a rule in acting called, "Don't play the result." If you have a character who's going to end up in a certain place, don't play that until you get there. Play each scene and each beat as it comes. And that's what you do in life: You don't play the result.: Michael J. Fox (1961 - ), Good Housekeeping, June 2011

A persuadable temper might sometimes be as much in favour of happiness as a very resolute character.: Jane Austen (1775 - 1817), Persuasion, 1818

Results from Classic Quotes:

The peril of every fine faculty is the delight of playing with it for pride. Talent is commonly developed at the expense of character, and the greater it grows, the more is the mischief. Talent is mistaken for genius, a dogma or system for truth, ambition for greatest, ingenuity for poetry, sensuality for art.: Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)
There is no such thing as a 'self-made' man. We are made up of thousands of others. Everyone who has ever done a kind deed for us, or spoken one word of encouragement to us, has entered into the make-up of our character and of our thoughts, as well as our success.: George Matthew Adams
The overman...Who has organized the chaos of his passions, given style to his character, and become creative. Aware of life's terrors, he affirms life without resentment.: Friedrich Nietzsche (1844 - 1900)
