My parting shots for tonight: Notes on character
Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power. [/align]Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him. [/align]Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)Without an acquaintance with the rules of propriety, it is impossible for the character to be established. [/align]Confucius (551 BC - 479 BC), The Confucian AnalectsMany a man's reputation would not know his character if they met on the street. [/align]Elbert Hubbard (1856 - 1915)People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built. [/align]Eleanor Roosevelt (1884 - 1962), My DayForming characters! Whose? Our own or others? Both. And in that momentous fact lies the peril and responsibility of our existence. [/align]Elihu BurrittPersonality can open doors, but only character can keep them open. [/align]Elmer G. LettermanIn attempts to improve your character, know what is in your power and what is beyond it. [/align]Francis Thompson (1859 - 1907)A person reveals his character by nothing so clearly as the joke he resents. [/align]Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1742 - 1799)Our character...is an omen of our destiny, and the more integrity we have and keep, the simpler and nobler that destiny is likely to be. [/align]George Santayana (1863 - 1952), "The German Mind: A Philosophical Diagnosis"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved. [/align]Helen Keller (1880 - 1968)
