Quotations by Subject: Character (40 quotes)

Results from Cole's Quotables:

Not to be cheered by praise, Not to be grieved by blame, But to know thoroughly ones own virtues or powers Are the characteristics of an excellent man.: Saskya Pandita
Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught.: J. C. Watts
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.: The Buddha
Movements born in hatred very quickly take on the characteristics of the thing they oppose.: J. S. Habgood

Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

Our view. . . is that it is an essential characteristic of experimentation that it is carried out with limited resources, and an essential part of the subject of experimental design to ascertain how these should be best applied; or, in particular, to which causes of disturbance care should be given, and which ought to be deliberately ignored.: Sir Ronald A. Fisher
When we make mistakes they call it evil. When God makes mistakes they call it Nature!: Jack Nicholson's character in The Witches of Eastwick
Here is an artificial city which has been pumped up under forced draught, inflated like a balloon, stuffed with rural humanity like a goose with corn...endeavoring to eat up this too rapid avalanche of anthropoids, the sunshine metropolis heaves and strains, sweats and becomes pop-eyed, like a young boa constrictor trying to swallow a goat. It has never imparted an urban character to its incoming population for the simple reason that it has never had any character to impart. On the other hand, the place has the manners, culture and general outlook of a huge country village.: Morrow Mayo
The best part of the fiction in many novels is the notice that the characters are purely imaginary.: Franklin P. Adams (1881 - 1960)
I used to be a lawyer, but now I am a reformed character.: Woodrow Wilson (1856 - 1924)
There's not a woman in the book, the plot hinges on unkindness to animals, and the black characters mostly drown by Chapter 29.: P.J. O'Rourke (commenting on _Moby Dick_)
