The riches of the soul are stored up in it's memory. This is the test of character, not whether a man follows the daily fashion, but whether the past is alive in his present Picture Quote #1

All greatness of character is dependent on individuality. The man who has no other existence than that which he partakes in common with all around him, will never have any other than an existence of mediocrity Picture Quote #1

How easy it is for generous sentiments, high courtesy, and chivalrous courage to lose their influence beneath the chilling blight of selfishness, and to exhibit to the world a man who was great in all the minor attributes of character, but who was found wanting when it became necessary to prove how much principle is superior to policy Picture Quote #1

The chief character in this narrative is the Caribbean Sea, one of the world's most alluring bodies of water, a rare gem among the oceans, defined by the islands that form a chain of lovely jewels to the north and east Picture Quote #1

Great artistic talent in any direction... Is hardly inherent to the man. It comes and goes; it is often possessed only for a short phase in his life; it hardly ever colors his character as a whole and has nothing to do with the moral and intellectual stuff of the mind and soul. Many great artists, perhaps most great artists, have been poor fellows indeed, whom to know was to despise Picture Quote #1

What I have in common with the character in 'Truman' is this incredible need to please people. I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. and I have felt this way ever since all this success started Picture Quote #1

Nothing strengthens the judgment and quickens the conscience like individual responsibility. Nothing adds such dignity to character as the recognition of one's self-sovereignty; the right to an equal place, every where conceded; a place earned by personal merit, not an artificial attainment, by inheritance, wealth, family, and position Picture Quote #1

The elimination of individual capitalists and the replacement of private capitalism by state capitalism in Russia has not in the least altered the typical helpless and authoritarian character structure of the masses of people Picture Quote #1

If a man's character is to be abused there's nobody like a relative to do the business Picture Quote #1

I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life... More particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character Picture Quote #1

The slanders poured down like Niagara. If you take into consideration the setting - the war and the revolution - and the character of the accused - revolutionary leaders of millions who were conducting their party to the sovereign power - you can say without exaggeration that July 1917 was the month of the most gigantic slander in world history Picture Quote #1

Let us learn how the love of Christ, received into the heart, triumphs gradually but surely over all sin, transforms character, turning even it's weakness into strength, and so, from the depths of transgression and the very gates of hell, raises men to God Picture Quote #1
