Quotations by Subject: Character (40 quotes)

Results from Poor Man's College:

A man is what he is, not what men say he is. His character no man can touch. His character is what he is before his God and his Judge; and only he himself can damage that. His reputations what men say he is. That can be damaged; but reputation is for time, character is for eternity: John Ballantine Gough
A man's character is his guardian divinity.: Heraclitus (540 BC - 480 BC)
Character is power; it makes friends, draws patronage and support and opens the way to wealth, honor and happiness.: John Howe
No matter how full a reservoir of maxims one may possess, and no matter how good one's sentiments may be, if one has not taken advantage of every concrete opportunity to act, one's character may retain entirely unaffected for the better. With mere good intentions, hell is proverbially paved.: William James (1842 - 1910)
Character is the indelible mark that determines the only true value of all people and all their work: Orison Swett Marden (1850 - 1924)
A man's reputation is what other people think of him; his character is what he really is.: Jack Miner
Character is much easier kept than recovered.: Thomas Paine (1737 - 1809)
Character is the foundation stone upon which one must build to win respect. Just as no worthy building can be erected on a weak foundation, so no lasting reputation worthy of respect can be built on a weak character.: R. C. Samsel
It is possible that the scrupulously honest man may not grow rich so fast as the unscrupulous and dishonest one; but success will be of a truer kind, earned without fraud or injustice. And even though a man should for a time be unsuccessful, still he must be honest; better to lose all and save character. For character is itself a fortune.: Samuel Smiles
We falsely attribute to men a determined character - putting together all their yesterdays - and averaging them - we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support - it is worse than a large family - he is the silent poor indeed.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
