Character

A man only begins to be a man when he ceases to whine and revile, and commences to search for the hidden justice which regulates his life.

In brief, I am averse from nothing: my conscience would give me the lie if I should absolutely detest or hate any essence but the devil; or so at least abhor anything, but that we might come to composition.

I cannot fall out, or contemn a man for an errour, or conceive why a difference in Opinion should divide an affection.

I speak not in prejudice, nor am I averse from that sweet Sex, but naturally amorous of all that is beautiful.

My heart is worth more than that of a vile mortal who dwells in your towns.

It echoed loudly within him because he was hollow at the core....

Talent develops in tranquility, character in the full current of human life

He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help

Men of few words are the best men

One man excels in eloquence, another in arms

Every man has three characters - that which he exhibits, that which he has, and that which he thinks he has.

Let us, then, be what we are, and speak what we think, and in all things keep ourselves loyal to the truth

I may be no better than other people, but at least I am different

The men who learn endurance, are they who call the whole world brother

We rise in glory as we sink in pride

It is too difficult to think nobly when one thinks only of earning a living

Joy is not in things; it is in us

There is no passion that steals into the heart more imperceptibly and covers itself under more disguises than pride

I love you not only for what you are, But for what I am when I'm with you.

Life’s most presistent and urgent question is, “What are you doing for others?”
