Provoking Points To Ponder on Character:
Men best show their character in trifles, where they are not on their guard – it is in insignificant matters, and in the simplest habits, that we often see the boundless egotism which pays no regard to the feelings of others, and denies nothing to itself — Arthur Schopenhauer
We want the spirit of America to be efficient: we want American character to be efficient; we want American character to display itself in what I may, perhaps, be allowed to call spiritual efficiency — clear disinterested thinking and fearless action along the right lines of thought — Woodrow Wilson
When the late J P Morgan was asked what he considered the best bank collateral, he replied, “Character”
A man may be outwardly successful all his life long, and die hollow and worthless as a puff-ball; and he may be externally defeated all his life long, and die in the royalty of a kingdom established within him — A man’s true estate of power and riches, is to be in himself; not in his dwelling, or position, or external relations, but in his own essential character — that is the realm in which he is to live, if he is to live as a Christian man — H W Beecher
A good character is, in all cases, the fruit of personal exertion — it is not inherited from parents; it is not created by external advantages; it is no necessary appendage of birth, wealth, talents, or station; but it is the result of one’s own endeavors — the fruit and reward of good principles manifested in a course of virtuous and honorable action — J Hawes
A man’s character is the reality of himself — His reputation is the opinion others have formed of him — character is in him; reputation is from other people — that is the substance, this is the shadow –– H W Beecher
There is a broad distinction between character and reputation, for one may be destroyed by slander, while the other can never be harmed save by it possessor — Reputation is in no man’s keeping — You and I cannot determine what other men shall think and say about us — We can only determine what they ought to think of us and say about us — J G Holland
Character building begins in our infancy and continues until death —Mrs Franklin D Roosevelt
