Don't seek to be respected by everyone, rather seek to be worthy of being respected by everyone. ~ Bohdi Sanders
Character Building quotes by Bohdi Sanders
When life hits hard, you have to patiently endure. Endurance builds capacity; with patience, character is developed. You can make a come back with good character. ~ Martin Uzochukwu Ugwu
Character Building quotes by Martin Uzochukwu Ugwu
Life will never meet all of our expectations. We must nonetheless accept all disappointments without becoming bitter and cynical. We must always remain mindful of the opportunity to extend kindness and work to improve our character. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Character Building quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
The fourth gift is Compassion. May you be gentle with yourself and others. May you forgive those who hurt you and yourself when you make mistakes. ~ Charlene Costanzo
Character Building quotes by Charlene Costanzo
The twelfth gift is Faith. May you believe ~ Charlene Costanzo
Character Building quotes by Charlene Costanzo
In fiction, a reaction shot is a brief portrayal of how your character reacts to something that someone else has done. In contrast to more direct character building, your guy doesn't initiate the sequence; he completes it. Exactly how he completes it can tell readers a lot about him. ~ Nancy Kress
Character Building quotes by Nancy Kress
I don't act in the way other actresses act, in terms of building or creating a character. I don't transform myself into the role, I invest myself in the role. ~ Beatrice Dalle
Character Building quotes by Beatrice Dalle
Martial arts is not about fighting; it's about building character. ~ Bo Bennett
Character Building quotes by Bo Bennett
The purpose of education should be character-building. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Character Building quotes by Abhijit Naskar
I believe the main purpose of life is to accept with gratitude what you've been blessed with so that you may use those gifts to mold yourself into the best person you can possibly be. Learning to discern things of true value from those of little or no worth is part of the process. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Character Building quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
You know what would help this boy?" Demeter mused. "Farming."
Persephone rolled her eyes. "Mother-"
"Six months behind a plow. Excellent character building. ~ Rick Riordan
Character Building quotes by Rick Riordan
Yoga says instinct is a trace of an old experience that has been repeated many times and the impressions have sunk down to the bottom of the mental lake. Although they go down, they aren't completely erased. Don't think you ever forget anything. All experiences are stored in the chittam; and, when the proper atmosphere is created, they come to the surface again. When we do something several times it forms a habit. Continue with that habit for a long time, and it becomes your character. Continue with that character and eventually, perhaps in another life, it comes up as instinct. (92) ~ Swami Satchidananda
Character Building quotes by Swami Satchidananda
There are two types of poverty: Money poverty and character poverty. Both are to be hated with equal passion ~ Nicky Verd
Character Building quotes by Nicky Verd
What all of these jobs taught me is that you have to be willing to tolerate some shit you don't like - at least for a while. This is what my parents' generation would call "character building," but I prefer to call it "#GIRLBOSS training." I didn't expect to love any of these jobs, but I learned a lot because I worked hard and grew to love things about them. ~ Sophia Amoruso
Character Building quotes by Sophia Amoruso
The tenth gift is Wisdom. Guiding your way, wisdom will lead you through knowledge to understanding. May you hear its soft voice. ~ Charlene Costanzo
Character Building quotes by Charlene Costanzo
My education, in other words, was a test of my willpower; and I accepted the challenge - to such an extent, indeed, that I think at some level of my teenage consciousness I truly believed that the whole point of going to school was to learn how to focus attention on subject matter that was of no consequence to me. The message I received at Clifton was: education is not primarily about understanding the world; its real purpose is character-building. As a corollary, I inferred that to study anything in which you had a real interest was, if not exactly cheating, certainly missing the point. ~ John Cleese
Character Building quotes by John Cleese
I go through a whole process with the actors first, building and creating characters, then I encourage them to sort of live in that character when they're in the screen. ~ Keenen Ivory Wayans
Character Building quotes by Keenen Ivory Wayans
There are plenty of people, in need of our attention, who have very little with which to repay us. But I feel that we are well within our rights if we cultivate the acquaintance of persons whom we have discovered to be in possession of specialized talents in the field of character-building. One such acquaintance may serve as a stimulant to us; another a sedative. One man laughs his fears and frets away and another growls at them. It is fortunate for us if we can recognize the exact effect that other people have on us. Then we know when to seek or avoid them. ~ Lloyd C. Douglas
Character Building quotes by Lloyd C. Douglas
I had once thought strength of character was a hardening of oneself; an intricate protection system by which you reconciled yourself to the truths of life and learned to let them not bother you. But all systems of character building go right out the window when you find there aren't anymore truths.. or none you recognize. ~ Jonathan Carroll
Character Building quotes by Jonathan Carroll
An animal without character is merely animal, but a human without character is worse than animal. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Character Building quotes by Abhijit Naskar
I have lost and loved and won and cried myself to the person I am today. ~ Charlotte Eriksson
Character Building quotes by Charlotte Eriksson
Lack of credibility slays your character ~ Bernard Kelvin Clive
Character Building quotes by Bernard Kelvin Clive
Non-violent resistance to evil is a quintessential element of the character of a real human being. If someone does wrong to me, I may be physically capable of breaking his jaw with one blow of my fist, but such violent reciprocation does not define the strength of my character as a real human being. If I succeed in resisting my limbic urge to do harm in return, then only can I be hailed as human being of real character. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Character Building quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Never miss an opportunity to be truly and deeply humiliated! The shame will carve you down to an individual of exquisite layering, and in the process, etch within you the arcs of exceptional narrative. ~ Ashim Shanker
Character Building quotes by Ashim Shanker
We sometimes hurt those we love because they need to be "taught a lesson," when we really want to punish. We were depressed and complained we felt bad, when in fact we were mainly asking for sympathy and attention. This odd trait of mind and emotion, this perverse wish to hide a bad motive underneath a good one, permeates human affairs from top to bottom. This subtle and elusive kind of self-righteousness can underlie the smallest act or thought. Learning daily to spot, admit, and correct these flaws is the essence of character-building and good living. An honest regret for harms done, a genuine gratitude for blessings received, and a willingness to try for better things tomorrow will be the permanent assets we shall seek. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous
Character Building quotes by Alcoholics Anonymous
Sometimes all you need is to forgive yourself. ~ Unarine Ramaru
Character Building quotes by Unarine Ramaru
It was a character-building week, a week that thinned my hair, put circles underneath my eyes. ~ Megan Mayhew Bergman
Character Building quotes by Megan Mayhew Bergman
You have something special, you have GREATNESS within you! ~ Les Brown
Character Building quotes by Les Brown
Love opens the most impossible gates in the world. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Character Building quotes by Abhijit Naskar
The eighth gift is Imagination. May it nourish your visions and dreams. ~ Charlene Costanzo
Character Building quotes by Charlene Costanzo
Letter to the tech giants:

When fame and abundance kiss somebody's feet before that person is wise enough, he or she is very likely to lose track of what's necessity and what's luxury. And modern society is filled with examples of such intelligent stupidity – stupidity that is carried out by apparently smart humans. Because being smart is not the same as being wise. The world has enough smartness, but not enough wisdom to bring that smartness into proper productive practice – and I mean productive practice not sophisticated practice – there is a difference. A person smart enough to visualize a Falcon rocket engine can easily pinpoint the locations of various organizations that spread terrorism, yet the person chooses to explore the space further instead of prioritizing the technological advantages to first fix real issues of the human society that inflict harm to the humans every walk of the way.
The world is a miserable place not because we have lack of resources, but because those who have an abundance of resources do not have the slightest idea of true human need. The resources needed for colonizing Mars if put to proper practice can fix the world's global warming issues – it can fix the world's climate change issues – it can fix the world's terrorism issues, yet people are more interested in the pompous idea of living in Mars for whatever reason, instead of paying attention to improving human condition on earth. I am not against technological advancement, ~ Abhijit Naskar
Character Building quotes by Abhijit Naskar
How you respond when someone disrespects you shows if you are worthy of respect. ~ Paul Bamikole
Character Building quotes by Paul Bamikole
I guess you think this is some kind of character-building exercise, too, then??"

"Do you REALLY think the last thing I'm gonna do before I die is admit someone else was right?? ~ Nick Spencer
Character Building quotes by Nick Spencer
We'd never talked about his parents, like he was some underwater Peter Pan. ~ Katherine McIntyre
Character Building quotes by Katherine McIntyre
Young bodies are like tender plants, which grow and become hardened to whatever shape you've trained them. ~ Desiderius Erasmus
Character Building quotes by Desiderius Erasmus
Mind not the mocking and keep on walking. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Character Building quotes by Abhijit Naskar
At least in the world we know, it takes trials to make something beautiful and useful out of the raw materials of life. The student's struggle with truth develops his intelligence; the athlete's struggle with his records and his opponents helps to develop his muscles and coordination; the musician's struggle with more difficult pieces develops his playing skill; and the soul's struggle with the trials of life helps to build character. ~ Warren W. Wiersbe
Character Building quotes by Warren W. Wiersbe
The loss of these tastes [for poetry and music] is a loss of happiness, and may possibly be injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character, by enfeebling the emotional part of our nature. ~ Charles Darwin
Character Building quotes by Charles Darwin
Hardships occur to build a person's character. ~ Sahara Sanders
Character Building quotes by Sahara Sanders
He always used to tell us that our attitude and the way we spent our time, defined our character - Awa ~ Rehan Khan
Character Building quotes by Rehan Khan
Right here and now the great work of character-building is to be done, and whoever neglects present opportunities, looking forward to a future heaven for better conditions, is pulling right away from the kingdom of heaven within himself. ~ Charles Fillmore
Character Building quotes by Charles Fillmore
I tend to write about towns because that's what I remember best. You can put a boundary on the number of characters you insert into a small town. I tend to create a lot of characters, so this is a sort of restraint on the character building I do for a novel. ~ Tom Drury
Character Building quotes by Tom Drury
Her father dropped her off in front of the place where she was to live and left the engine running. Lila Mae removed the two suitcases from the back of the pickup truck. The suitcases were new, with a formidable casing of green plastic. Scratchproof, supposedly. Her father had only been able to afford them because they were, manufacturer's oats aside, scratched - gouged actually, as if an animal had taken them in its fangs to teach them about hubris. ~ Colson Whitehead
Character Building quotes by Colson Whitehead
...I've been ripped off, lied to, slandered, gossiped about slapped, falsely accused, and had my truths not believed. I've had my heart broken, had my pride stomped on, witnessed unforgivable acts, and heard words that hurt so much I withed that they would not replay in my head, but they did. In all these moments--some tear-soaked, some life-defining, but all character-building moments--I have felt vulnerable.
And I believe these feelings of vulnerability--when a person feels scared and alone and overwhelmed and pissed off, wen the sting of unfairness bites deep--while miserable to live through, are the basis for writing compelling fiction. ~ Jessica Page Morrell
Character Building quotes by Jessica Page Morrell
One of the most critical decisions made in life is choosing with whom to spend your time. For it is those close relationships that gradually mold our character until we become a reflection of the company we keep. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Character Building quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
Every problem is a character-building opportunity, and the more difficult it is, the greater the potential for building spiritual muscle and moral fiber. ~ Rick Warren
Character Building quotes by Rick Warren
You alright?' Frey asked him. Crake gave him an accusing glare. 'I thought I'd given up all dignity long ago when I joined this crew,' he said. 'But this? This is a new low, Frey.'
'It's character-building,' said Frey. ~ Chris Wooding
Character Building quotes by Chris Wooding
The only relevance worth to pursue, is living your passion through your interests. ~ Unarine Ramaru
Character Building quotes by Unarine Ramaru
I spent the last Friday of summer vacation spreading hot, sticky tar across the roof of George Washington High. My companions were Dopey, Toothless, and Joe, the brain surgeons in charge of building maintenance. At least they were getting paid. I was working forty feet above the ground, breathing in sulfur fumes from Satan's vomitorium, for free.
Character building, my father said.
Mandatory community service, the judge said. Court-ordered restitution for the Foul Deed. He nailed me with the bill for the damage I had done, which meant I had to sell my car and bust my hump at a landscaping company all summer. Oh, and he gave me six months of meetings with a probation officer who thought I was a waste of human flesh.
Still, it was better than jail.
I pushed the mop back and forth, trying to coat the seams evenly. We didn't want any rain getting into the building and destroying the classrooms. Didn't want to hurt the school. No, sir, we sure didn't. ~ Laurie Halse Anderson
Character Building quotes by Laurie Halse Anderson
Highly educated young people are tutored, taught and monitored in all aspects of their lives, except the most important, which is character building. When it comes to this, most universities leave them alone. ~ David Brooks
Character Building quotes by David Brooks
The sixth gift is Joy. May it keep your heart open and filled with light. ~ Charlene Costanzo
Character Building quotes by Charlene Costanzo
Take the time out to have a look at yourself, it might help you to appreciate yourself better. ~ Shampa Sharma
Character Building quotes by Shampa Sharma
And that is why novels, even when they are about wicked people, can solace us: they suggest a more comprehensible and thus more manageable human race, they give us the illusion of perspicacity and of power. ~ E.M. Forster
Character Building quotes by E.M. Forster
The fifth gift is Hope. Through each passage and season, may you trust the goodness of life. ~ Charlene Costanzo
Character Building quotes by Charlene Costanzo
Beauty without a character is a waste. ~ Luffina Lourduraj
Character Building quotes by Luffina Lourduraj
A doctrine-teaching, character-building university, the Brigham Young University is dedicated to the building of character and faith, for character is higher than intellect ... We are men of God first, men of letters second, men of science third, and noted men fourth, men of rectitude rather than academic competence ... Our academic training must be as impeccable as our lives. ~ Spencer W. Kimball
Character Building quotes by Spencer W. Kimball
Your story is not a picture of life; it lacks the elements of truth. And why? Simply because you run straight on to the end; because you do not analyze. Your heroes do this thing or that from this or that motive, which you assign without ever a thought of dissecting their mental and moral natures. Our feelings, you must remember, are far more complex than all that. In real life every act is the
resultant of a hundred thoughts that come and go, and these
you must study, each by itself, if you would create a living
character. 'But,' you will say, 'in order to note these fleeting
thoughts one must know them, must be able to follow them in their capricious meanderings.You have simply to make use of hypnotism, electrical or human, which gives one a two-fold being, setting free the witness-personality so that it may see, understand, and remember the reasons which determine the personality that acts. ~ Jules Verne
Character Building quotes by Jules Verne
The third gift is Courage. May you speak and act with confidence and use courage to follow your own path. ~ Charlene Costanzo
Character Building quotes by Charlene Costanzo
True education does not consist merely in the acquiring of a few facts of science, history, literature, or art, but in the development of character. ~ David O. McKay
Character Building quotes by David O. McKay
When they talk of building self-esteem, they often resort to empty flattery rather than character-building honesty. I've heard so many people talk of downward spiral in our educational system, and I think one key factor is that there is too much stroking and too littke real feedback. ~ Randy Pausch
Character Building quotes by Randy Pausch
lost a great innocence when I understood that I and my mind were not going to be on good terms for the rest of my life. I can't tell you how tired I am of character-building experiences. But I treasure this part of me; whoever loves me loves me with this in it. ~ Kay Redfield Jamison
Character Building quotes by Kay Redfield Jamison
To compose our character is our duty, not to compose books, and to win, not battles and provinces, but order and tranquility in our conduct. Our great and glorious masterpiece is to live appropriately. All other things, ruling, hoarding, building, are only little appendages and props, at most. ~ Michel De Montaigne
Character Building quotes by Michel De Montaigne
And I thought, you know, a little gender confusion makes a better person. A little adversity in life at an early age. It's character building. ~ Lesley Gore
Character Building quotes by Lesley Gore
HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. ~ Randy Shilts
Character Building quotes by Randy Shilts
Use your gifts well and you will discover others, among them a gift that is uniquely you. See these noble gifts in other people. Share the truth and be ready for the miracle to unfold ~ Charlene Costanzo
Character Building quotes by Charlene Costanzo
Keep doing the right. God is building character in you, and you are passing that test. Remember, the greater the struggle, the greater the reward. ~ Joel Osteen
Character Building quotes by Joel Osteen
God will spare no pains necessary to bring us into relationship with Himself, even as that may mean permitting whatever pain is necessary to do so. Suffering is the grist by which the mill of faith yields the raw material of new character, greater insight and deeper relationship with God. ~ James Castleton, MD, Mending Of A Broken Heart
Character Building quotes by James Castleton, MD, Mending Of A Broken Heart
What's the idea with Moonshine joining the team?"
Cate leaned forward. "It's politics, Connor," she said. "Pure politics. When Barbarro persuaded Molucco to loan us out, he insisted that Moonshine come, too. He's under the impression it will be character building for him!"
"Character building?" Connor exclaimed. "Are you sure that Barbarro isn't secretly hoping a Vampirate will do us all a favor and finish him off?"
Bart laughed. ~ Justin Somper
Character Building quotes by Justin Somper
A lot can be determined by the choices we make, even if the action is initiated by self-preservation. Many ... no, most ... of our choices are driven by fear: fear of death, fear of humiliation, fear of loneliness. But it's how we respond to fear that matters. It's what defines us. What makes us who we are. So maybe in your mind you acted selfishly, but I'm alive because of the choice you made. So I'll remember it as an act of kindness and yes, even bravery. ~ Michael J. Sullivan
Character Building quotes by Michael J. Sullivan
If all I wanted was a quick lay, you and I both know I could get that without any effort. I want something more than that from you."
"Welcome to disappointment. It's character building."
… "I'm not experienced, but I know when a girl is into me, and you're into me. You want to play it casual, then that's how we play it... for now. But fair warning, I'm bringing everything I've got to tear down your resistance. My specialty is reading plays and then overcoming the barriers. ~ Jen Frederick
Character Building quotes by Jen Frederick
Whatever form it takes, camping is earthy, soul enriching and character building, and there can be few such satisfying moments as having your tent pitched and the smoke rising from your campfire as the golden sun sets on the horizon
even if it's just for a fleeting moment before the rain spoils everything. ~ Pippa Middleton
Character Building quotes by Pippa Middleton
The ninth gift is Reverence. May you appreciate the wonder that you are and the miracle of all creation. ~ Charlene Costanzo
Character Building quotes by Charlene Costanzo
No one is born brave; one needs to learn to muster courage - On the Birth of Character ~ Lamine Pearlheart
Character Building quotes by Lamine Pearlheart
The thing about being powerful is that it may be a limited edition... as the source of the power goes you go; but becoming empowered will last a lifetime. ~ Johnnie Dent Jr.
Character Building quotes by Johnnie Dent Jr.
A relationship built on lies and trickery will not last; only truthfulness can uphold a relationship ~ Idowu Koyenikan
Character Building quotes by Idowu Koyenikan
Fateful encounters with a cruel world reveal our character. No human is immune from heartbreaking loss. Regardless of our socioeconomic status, eventually everybody shall suffer a grievous personal loss, a body blow that inflicts pain of inexpressible magnitude. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Character Building quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
I'm not gonna end my life on that! I'm not gonna be a fugitive! I'm not gonna let whoever cross over myself! I'm not going let the circumstances destroy me!" Emma promised in front of the heavens, feeling stronger than ever before. ~ Sahara Sanders
Character Building quotes by Sahara Sanders
I'm a huge fan of BioWare games. I think they do some of the best character-building. I mean, I have a relationship with Thane from 'Mass Effect' that is as vivid as any crush that I've had on a TV-show character. ~ Felicia Day
Character Building quotes by Felicia Day
The House of Change... is bigger inside than out. ~ Michael Ende
Character Building quotes by Michael Ende
In 1963, while my brothers were engaged in their lives, I call this period of my life 'my character-building years.' I adhered to the saying, 'When the going gets tough, the tough get going. ~ Marc Ashton
Character Building quotes by Marc Ashton
Wealth without character is another form of poverty ~ Mac Duke The Strategist
Character Building quotes by Mac Duke The Strategist
When they [parents and educators] talk of building self-esteem, they often resort to empty flattery rather than character-building honesty. I've heard so many people talk of a downward spiral in our educational system, and I think one key factor is that there is too much stroking and too little real feedback. ~ Randy Pausch
Character Building quotes by Randy Pausch
My son craves picture books about Transformers and Ninja Turtles and the Hulk; they show one fantastic creature smashing or zapping another into smithereens on page after page. They are dull and ugly and show no interesting stories or models of conflict resolution or character building. ~ Russell Smith
Character Building quotes by Russell Smith
Allow me to tell you, Mr Taylor", said I, but quietly as the occassion demanded, "that one gentleman does not rejoice at the misfortune of another in public". ~ William Golding
Character Building quotes by William Golding
Criminal profiling is the writing process in reverse. Writers create characters and project their actions forwards into a timeline. Profilers are left with the aftermath of an offender's behaviour and must extrapolate backwards to establish their characteristics. ~ Stewart Stafford
Character Building quotes by Stewart Stafford
Let the echo of your footsteps spark a ray of hope in the heart of the hopeless and appear as help to the helpless. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Character Building quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Your reputation is what others think of you; your character is what you truly are. Reputations can be manipulated; character can only be developed and maintained. ~ Bohdi Sanders
Character Building quotes by Bohdi Sanders
Character building begins in our infancy and continues until death. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Character Building quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
I'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year. It's very character-building. ~ Steve Jobs
Character Building quotes by Steve Jobs
Military leaders aren't made. They are born. To be a good leader, you have to have something in your character to cause people to follow you. ~ Jimmy Johnson
Character Building quotes by Jimmy Johnson
In 1949, Saul was thirteen. Never before had he seen his father cry. Suddenly, he realized that what he took to be his home - a two-bedroom apartment in a newly renovated brick building above Gertel's bakery - was to his father no more than a prop on someone else's stage, which could at any moment be struck and carried into the wings. In its absence, home was in the rhythm of the halakhah: the daily prayer, the weekly Sabbath, the annual holy days. In time was their culture. In time, not in space, was their home. ~ Chloe Benjamin
Character Building quotes by Chloe  Benjamin
Style is as unique and nontransferable and perfectly personal as a fingerprint. It is wise to take the time to develop one's own way of being, increasing those things one does well and eliminating the elements in one's character which can hinder and diminish the good personality. ~ Maya Angelou
Character Building quotes by Maya Angelou
For me, the key is always trying to find the connection between the audience and the character I'm playing. That's important to me, in any work I do. ~ Aneurin Barnard
Character Building quotes by Aneurin Barnard
He who has not first laid his foundations may be able with great ability to lay them afterwards, but they will be laid with trouble to the architect and danger to the building. ~ Niccolo Machiavelli
Character Building quotes by Niccolo Machiavelli
If the art of ship-building were in the wood, ships would exist by nature. ~ Aristotle.
Character Building quotes by Aristotle.
One of the real tests of Christian character is to be found in the lives we live from day to day. ~ Billy Graham
Character Building quotes by Billy Graham
I work very slowly. It's like building a ladder, where you're building your own ladder rung by rung, and you're climbing the ladder. It's not the best way to build a ladder, but I don't know any other way. ~ Joyce Carol Oates
Character Building quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
When you're actually feeling a character and you're going through the real emotions, and you're not fake acting, that energy stays with you and sometimes you can't get it off for days. It just resonates in your body, unless you have some sort of release, whatever it is. ~ Tinsel Korey
Character Building quotes by Tinsel Korey
The character can never be static from book to book. People might think you just come up with a new plot and stick this guy in. Well, he has to be as new as the plot every time. ~ Michael Connelly
Character Building quotes by Michael Connelly
The multiverse model offers an elegantly postmodern solution to character stasis in a market-driven serial publishing system which privileges constancy over major change. ~ Jose Alaniz
Character Building quotes by Jose Alaniz
