Character Samuel Smiles

"Unless above himself he can Erect himself, how poor a thing is man"?DANIEL. "Character is moral order seen through the medium, of an individual nature.... Men of character are the conscience of the society to which they belong."?EMERSON. "The prosperity of a country depends, not on the abundance of its revenues, nor on the strength of its fortifications, nor on the beauty of its public buildings; but it consists in the number of its cultivated citizens, in its men of education, enlightenment, and character; here are to be found its true interest, its chief strength, its real power."?MARTIN LUTHER. Character is one of the greatest motive powers in the world. In its noblest embodiments, it exemplifies human nature in its highest forms, for it exhibits man at his best.
