Different perspectives on Character
2007/09/13,16:55

 You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.
-- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
 

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

You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
-- James A. Froude

The farther behind I leave the past, the closer I am to forging my own character.
-- Isabelle Eberhardt

The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life, for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves.
-- Leonardo da Vinci
