Between ourselves and our real natures we interpose that wax figure of idealizations and selections which we call our character.
Walter Lippmann – Character
Character contributes to beauty. It fortifies a woman as her youth fades.
Jacqueline Bisset – Character
A character is like an acrostic or Alexandrian stanza; read it forward, backward, or across, it still spells the same thing.
Ralph Waldo Emerson – Character
Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
Abraham Lincoln – Character, Reputation
You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence.
