Our Characters

Besides our looks, our characters are what differentiate us from the next person. Character is the combination of behaviour, personality and quality of a person. It is who we are. Character requires time and nurturing for growth and development. The older we are, the more defined our character.

Character cannot be counterfeited. We can act a part, or play a role completely different to our character because social etiquette requires it; we can put on a false facade, and deceive all the people in the world, but there is no escape from ourselves. Our true character always shows up in the end.

Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are to some extent a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it piece by piece by thought, choice, courage and determination. - John Luther

Character is the foundation stone upon which one must build to win respect. Just as no worthy building can be erected on a weak foundation, so no lasting reputation worthy of respect can be built on a weak character. Without character, all effort to attain dignity is superficial, and results are sure to be disappointing. - R. C. Samsel

It is possible that the scrupulously honest man may not grow rich so fast as the unscrupulous and dishonest one; but the success will be of a truer kind, earned without fraud or injustice. And even though a man should for a time be unsuccessful, still he must be honest: better lose all and save character. For character is itself a fortune. - Samuel Smiles
