Character

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.

The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.

If you create an act, you create a habit. If you create a habit, you create a character. If you create a character, you create a destiny.

One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them.

Clear conscience never fears midnight knocking.

If you stand straight, do not fear a crooked shadow.

Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.

Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of a man you are. It shows me what your ideal of manhood is, and what kind of a man you long to be.
