Eleanor Roosevelt on character

Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

A woman is like a tea bag. You never know how strong she is until she gets into hot water.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

John Wooden1910–2010

Noble character is best appreciated in those ages in which it can most readily develop.

Tacitus55–120

Character is higher than intellect… A great soul will be strong to live, as well as strong to think.

Ralph Waldo Emerson1803–1882The American Scholar (1837), par. 27
