Character Quotes for Character Building
Character in personality is everything.
It is only through our character we would be judged and remembered as someone who was worthy of trust or not, or as the one that stood up for the right thing or not, even when everything and everyone else turned against us.
Indeed, in the end, everyone would only be valued as high as his/her character.
A man might have everything in his possessions in life, but it is his character that would be long remembered after his life.
If he was a good man, a man with good character and integrity, his departure would be considered as a great loss by many.
But if he was a wicked man, the one that always tried to take advantage for his own personal gain on other people's afflictions, nobody would mourn over his death except, maybe, his closest family.
"When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.
" ~ Billy Graham "Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow.
The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
" ~ Abraham Lincoln Do you remember those famous character quotes? Even facts can't be more true than that.
We may lose everything, but as long as we do not lose our faith and perseverance in the good values that we believe in, we can always be sure to stand before God and men with dignity.
No loss is as great as the loss of self.
But the loss of character is as bad as the loss of our soul for without character that will guide us, we will do everything to get anything we want - even when we must trespass other people's rights for it - and, "the wages of sin are death".
Indeed, losing character is worse, much much worse than losing worldly possessions.
In the same way, having good and respectable character can and will benefit us greatly, not only mentally, but also spiritually and materially.
If we have the right character, that character will guide us to strive - in the best way possible without trespassing other people's rights - even in the most difficult times.
That way, we would be able to win back our losses without having to cost someone else unfairly.
But without the right character, if something bad happens, it would be harder for us to recover.
Why? Because, if we don't have the right views and values about the valuable things in this life, we would easily be trapped in jealousy (if we see somebody else more successful than ourselves) or in self-pity.
Self pity will only impoverish us.
People with self pity will hardly do anything to make the situation better for them.
Self pity will only make you complain and feel as if the world treated you unfairly.
Self-pity always consumes one's energy for nothing! Jealousy, in the other hand, may give one extra energy.
The energy, if the one who suffers jealousy has the right attitude, can be redirected to create more opportunities for getting the things he/she is jealous for.
But more than often, especially among the people without the right character built within them, the additional energy "given" by jealousy used only for grumbling and resenting somebody else they deem more "lucky" than themselves! So, it is imperative for everyone of us to have and build the right character.
And I hope these character quotes can help you for that!
