Some say knowledge is power, but that is not true. Character is power. ~ ~
When all is said and done, the only thing you'll have left is your character. ~ ~ Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel. ~ ~ Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character. ~ ~ When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, someting is lost; when character is lost, all is lost. ~ ~ Nearly all men can stand adversity. But if you want to test a man's character - give him power. ~ ~ Everyone tries to define this thing called Character. It's not hard. Character is doing what's right when nobody's looking
Most people say that is it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character. ~ ~ Character is what you know you are, not what others think you have. ~ ~ Reputation is what men and women think of us. Character is what God and the angels know of us. ~ ~ Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without the strategy. ~ ~ You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one. ~ ~ Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. ~ ~ Talents are best nurtured in solitude, but character is best formed in the stormy billows of the world ~ ~ Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at. ~ ~ You cannot build character and courage by taking away man's initiative and independence. ~ ~ The qualities of a great man are vision, integrity, courage, understanding, the power of articulation, and profundity of character. ~ ~ Sports do not build character. They reveal it. ~ ~ The truest characters of ignorance Are vanity, and pride, and annoyance. ~ ~ Confusion of goals and perfection of means seems, in my opinion, to characterize our age. ~ ~ Courage is the dividing line between weakness and strength of character. ~ ~ Vanity is the natural weakness of an ambitious man, which exposes him to the secret scorn and derision of those he converses with, and ruins the character he is so industrious to advance by it. ~ ~ Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel. ~ ~ Suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope ~ ~ Posterity will do justice to that unprincipled maniac Gladstone, extraordinary mixture of envy, vindictiveness, hypocrisy and superstition; and with one commanding characteristic, whether Prime Minister or Leader of the Opposition, whether preaching, praying, speechifying or scribbling, never a gentleman. ~ ~ Four characteristics constitute anyone who possesses them a sheer hypocrite, and anyone who possesses one of them possesses a characteristic of hypocrisy till he abandons it: when he is trusted he betrays his trust, when he talks he lies, when he makes a covenant he acts treacherously and when he quarrels he abuses. ~ ~ Philosophy is written in this grand book - I mean the Universe - which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it ~ ~ Good government generally begins in the family, and if the moral character of a people once degenerate, their political character must soon follow ~ ~ Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing. ~ ~ Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us. ~ ~ Distance tests a horse's strength. Time reveals a person's character. ~ |
