Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and griefs which we endure help us in our marching onward.
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.
People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.
Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.
On the night of the murder I was at home, asleep. The characters in my dream can vouch for me.
What has a man's face to do with his character? Can a man of good character help having a disagreeable face?
Talent is a gift, but character is a choice.
Everybody is a main character to someone...
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.
Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
