A man's treatment of money is the most decisive test of his character - how he makes it and how he spends it.
Character, not circumstances, make the man.
The happiness of every country depends on the character of its people, rather than the form of its government.
Character can not be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
America was built not by politicians running for something, but by statesmen standing for something.
Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.
Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries
Character is what you are in the dark.
There is nothing so fatal to character as half finished tasks.
Every man is the architect of his own character.
Character is always lost when a high ideal is sacrificed on the altar of conformity and popularity.
