Our right or wrong use of money is the utmost test of character, as well as the root of happiness or misery, throughout our whole lives. ~ Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
Test Of Character quotes by Dinah Maria Murlock Craik
Someone once said anyone can be great under rosy circumstances, but the true test of character is measured by how well a person makes decisions during difficult times. ~ Jack Gantos
Test Of Character quotes by Jack Gantos
I grumble at God and wonder if He loves me, just because things don't go right. If everything always went right I'd have no sympathy for those who suffered and I'd have no excuse for not being joyful all the time - but I bet I'd still grumble. This way it's a test of character and faith, to see how I react to disappointments, crying kids, sickness, disturbed nights, etc. ~ Emily T. Wierenga
Test Of Character quotes by Emily T. Wierenga
Intentions are invisible but they are the true test of character. ~ Alfred Armand Montapert
Test Of Character quotes by Alfred Armand Montapert
Fame is also a test of character at times ... Sometimes I pass the test; sometimes I'm a pain in the ass. Sometimes I'm like, Oh, God! I just want to buy some tampons! ~ Meg Ryan
Test Of Character quotes by Meg Ryan
The test of character is not persistence when you expect a light at the end of the tunnel. The true test is performance and persistence when you see no light coming. ~ James Arthur Ray
Test Of Character quotes by James Arthur Ray
The test of character is having the ability to meet challenges. ~ Walter Annenberg
Test Of Character quotes by Walter Annenberg
Sometimes knowing when to give up is the real test of character ...
-annabelle granger ~ Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Test Of Character quotes by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
In all tests of character, when two viewpoints are pitted against one another, in the final analysis the thing that will strike you the most, is not who was right or wrong, strong or weak, wise or foolish ... but who would go to the greatest lengths in considering the other's perspective. ~ Mike Dooley
Test Of Character quotes by Mike Dooley
I am thorough believer in the American test of character. He will not build high who does not build for himself. ~ Benjamin Harrison
Test Of Character quotes by Benjamin Harrison
There is no cramming for a test of character. It always comes as a pop quiz. ~ Andy Stanley
Test Of Character quotes by Andy Stanley
I've always regarded it as a test of character to dislike the Kennedys. I don't really respect anyone who falls for Camelot. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Test Of Character quotes by Christopher Hitchens
The riches of the soul are stored up in its memory. this is the test of character, not whether a man follows the daily fashion, but whether the past is alive in his present. ~ Abraham Joshua Heschel
Test Of Character quotes by Abraham Joshua Heschel
Power is a test - the test - of character. ~ Evalyn Walsh McLean
Test Of Character quotes by Evalyn Walsh McLean
Hardship is a legitimate test of character, resilience a legitimate sign of strength and patience a legitimate mark of faith. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Test Of Character quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
The real test of character is how you treat someone who has no possibility of doing you any good. ~ George Orwell
Test Of Character quotes by George Orwell
The rituals surrounding vacations among Manhattan's wealthiest and best-connected citizens are strange and specific. By vacations I don't mean country houses, which are part of the regular ebb and flow of life and which are frequently subjects for complaint - The kids never want to go! The caretaker missed the roof leak! The pipes froze! - as though having a six-thousand-square-foot, cedar-shingled cottage on five acres overlooking the ocean is nothing more or less than a constant test of character. ~ Anna Quindlen
Test Of Character quotes by Anna Quindlen
I have to set an example, now more than ever. Facing death is the ultimate test of character. – Cmdr. William Riker ~ Star Trek The Next Generation
Test Of Character quotes by Star Trek The Next Generation
What is the true test of character unless it be its progressive development in the bustle and turmoil, in the action and reaction of daily life. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Test Of Character quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do. ~ John Holt
Test Of Character quotes by John Holt
The true test of character is to live win-win even when promoted to positions where win-lose is possible. ~ Orrin Woodward
Test Of Character quotes by Orrin Woodward
The truest test of character is how we behave towards people who can do nothing for us. ~ James Runcie
Test Of Character quotes by James Runcie
American circumstances and Chiese character. How could I know these two things do not mix?
I taught her how American circumstances work. If you are born poor here, it's no lasting shame. You are first in line for a scholarship. If the roof crashes on your head, no need to cry over this bad luck. You can sue anybody, make the landlord fix it. You do not have to sit like a Buddha under a tree letting pigeons drop their dirty business on your head. You can buy an umbrella. Or go inside a Catholic church. In America, nobody says you have to keep the circumstances somebody else gives you.
She learned thse things, but I couldn't teach her Chinses character. How to obey parents and listen to your mother's mind. How not to show your own thoughts, to put your feelings behind your face so you can take advantage of hidden opportunities. Why easy things are not worth pursuing. How to know your own worth and polish it, never flashing it around like a cheap ring. Why Chinese thinking is best. ~ Amy Tan
Test Of Character quotes by Amy Tan
This is a test. This is only a test. If this was my actual life I'd be famous, rich, and thin. ~ Becky Adams
Test Of Character quotes by Becky Adams
You know, I don't talk about the characters that I play. Years ago, I was a little timid about it and I kind of squirmed when I was asked, 'Could you tell us something about your character.' Now with a little self-confidence that comes with the grey beard, I just flatly refuse. ~ Christoph Waltz
Test Of Character quotes by Christoph Waltz
David Corbett's The Art of Character offers a deep inquiry into the creation of character for the novice writer, with valuable nuggets of wisdom for the seasoned storyteller. If you are a writer, it should be on your desk. ~ Jacqueline Winspear
Test Of Character quotes by Jacqueline Winspear
I'm open to doing any kind of role and any kind of genre as long as it's interesting and as long as I feel it could be a great character to play. I never take into my own personal opinions or my own public image into account when I chose movie roles. ~ Leonardo DiCaprio
Test Of Character quotes by Leonardo DiCaprio
God has chosen to save the world through the cross, through the shameful and
powerless death of the crucified Messiah. If that shocking event is the
revelation of the deepest truth about the character of God, then our whole way
of seeing the world is turned upside down… all values are transformed… God
refuses to play games of power and prestige on human terms. ~ Richard B. Hays
Test Of Character quotes by Richard B. Hays
You may be good, but what are you good for? You've got to be good for something. You've got to be about some project, some task that requires you to be humble and obedient to the universal principles of service. You've got to live a life of complete and total integrity in order to give this kind of service. This integrity enables you to love other people unconditionally, to be courageous and kind at the same time, because you have integratedness inside your own soul. ~ Stephen Covey
Test Of Character quotes by Stephen Covey
After you acquire knowledge and skill, aim to be a practitioner. Time for practice on the job or in life will still test your authenticity. Knowledge is one of the greatest sources of confidence, and you will need that confidence to do your work and demonstrate you know what you have been trained for. ~ Archibald Marwizi
Test Of Character quotes by Archibald Marwizi
So, I didn't get moved up because of celebrity status or anything like that. I got in line, and I passed the test. And they realized that I was sick enough, and as soon as the liver became available, I got one. ~ Pat Summerall

The key is to remember a sex scene is a scene of dramatic action and psychological development. You need to pay attention to emotion and to a character's self-awareness or lack of self-awareness. ~ K.M. Soehnlein
Test Of Character quotes by K.M. Soehnlein
Damn, she just kept on surprising him. First with her beauty. Then with the illustrations. He'd been forced to accept that there was more to her character than he'd gleaned from her letters, but none of it fell too far outside the borders of his carefully mapped mental territory labeled "Madeline." She was privileged, sheltered, intelligent, curious, and far too crafty.
But this...
This was different.
As he watched her with the tenants' children, his conception of her pushed against its established boundaries. He was forced to add new descriptors to his list. Ones like "generous" and "responsible" and "protective. ~ Tessa Dare
Test Of Character quotes by Tessa Dare
Corollary to acknowledging the political purposes of foreign aid is a clear recognition of the fact that a meaningful and effective aid program, far from avoiding intervention in the affairs of the recipient, in fact constitutes intervention of a most profound character. Its purposes is nothing less than the reshaping of a society, of its internal life and, in less obvious ways, of its relations with the outside world. Indeed the determinant of our aid - of whether or not we extend it and whether or not a country will wish to have it - must be the kind of internal changes it can be expected to bring about and the effect which these changes will have on the interests of both the donor and the recipient.
The question, therefore, is not one of intervention or nonintervention per se but of the ends and means of intervention. ~ J. William Fulbright
Test Of Character quotes by J. William Fulbright
You can't write well with only the nice parts of your character, and only about nice things. And I don't want even to try anymore. I want to use everything, including hate and envy and lust and fear. ~ Alison Lurie
Test Of Character quotes by Alison Lurie
Those things which we call extraordinary,remarkable, or unusual may make history, but they do not make real life.
After all, to do well those things which God ordained to be the common lot of all mankind, is the truest greatness. To be a successful father or a successful mother is greater than to be a successful general or a successful statesman.' (Juvenile Instructor, 15 Dec. 1905,
p. 752.) ...
True greatness is never a result of a chance occurrence or a one-time effort or achievement. It requires the development of character. It requires a multitude of correct decisions for the everyday choices between good and evil. ~ Joseph Fielding Smith
Test Of Character quotes by Joseph Fielding Smith
Cause and effect is as absolute and undeviating in the hidden realm of thought as in the world of visible and
material things. Mind is the master weaver, both of the inner garment of character and the outer garment of
circumstance. ~ James Allen
Test Of Character quotes by James Allen
When I was a kid, I used to try and hit every ball out of the ground. After playing one-day cricket and Test cricket, I never thought I'd get a chance to play like that again, ever. Twenty20 has given me the opportunity of playing like a kid again. I can just feel free and go out there and hit. ~ Yuvraj Singh
Test Of Character quotes by Yuvraj Singh
English character and English freedom depend comparatively little on the form which the Constitution assumes at Westminster. A centralised democracy may be as tyrannical as an absolute monarch; and if the vigour of the nation is to continue unimpaired, each individual, each family, each district, must preserve as far as possible its independence, its self-completeness, its powers and its privilege to manage its own affairs and think its own thoughts. ~ James Anthony Froude
Test Of Character quotes by James Anthony Froude
Note: When reading dry political theory, such as the texts you will find on the following pages, it may be useful to apply the Exclamation Point Test from time to time, to determine if the material you are reading is actually relevant to your life. To apply this test, simply go through the text replacing all the punctuation marks at the ends of the sentences with exclamation points. If the results sound absurd when read aloud, then you know you're wasting your time. ~ CrimethInc.
Test Of Character quotes by CrimethInc.
It's a hard thing to do, to be given a script, and know that you've got to turn up on the first day of the shoot - generally without having had any rehearsal - and present a character. It's really baffling; it's incredibly hard to know how to begin, to approach it, other than just thinking about it. ~ Emily Mortimer
Test Of Character quotes by Emily Mortimer
If the Devil is an evil computer, who the hell programmed it? Who is the Dr. Frankestein of this abominable character? ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Test Of Character quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
The second season is genrtrally easier do because you know the actors better and they know the characters better and if everybody likes each other you can really go all types of places. ~ Denis Leary
Test Of Character quotes by Denis Leary
I like the fact that we're stripping the icons away. They're the WikiLeaks for the age that we're revealing, with the transparency of the characters. We're unearthing the truth beyond or underneath the myth. I love that aspect. ~ Joseph Fiennes
Test Of Character quotes by Joseph Fiennes
Real religion is about, developing real character; character of compassion, character of humility, the character of determination to grow in all circumstances. ~ Radhanath Swami
Test Of Character quotes by Radhanath Swami
Some of the martial arts films, the motivation is about martial arts. That's where it's coming from. It is a visual, commercial film, to showcase the next stunt, the biggest thing. And character development becomes a side thing. ~ Michelle Yeoh
Test Of Character quotes by Michelle Yeoh
A mediocre man copying nature will never produce a work of art, because he really looks without seeing, and though he may have noted each detail minutely, the result will be flat and without character ... the artist on the contrary, sees; that is to say, his eye, grafted on his heart, reads deeply into the bosom of nature. ~ Auguste Rodin
Test Of Character quotes by Auguste Rodin
I was surprised by how much of it I was in [Tron: Legacy]. I thought the character was just going to register as a smaller figure because most of what I did was with a body double, and then I would do the stand-in with Jeff [Bridges] and he would be just wearing his regular clothes. ~ James Frain
Test Of Character quotes by James Frain
A thorough inspection of someone you believed to be loveable will send you back into your shell if all you saw in their life was all bullshit. ~ Michael Bassey Johnson
Test Of Character quotes by Michael Bassey Johnson
Democracy, indeed, has a fair-appearing name and conveys the impression of bringing equal rights to all through equal laws, but its results are seen not to agree at all with its title. Monarchy, on the contrary, has an unpleasant sound, but is a most practical form of government to live under. For it is easier to find a single excellent man than many of them, section 2and if even this seems to some a difficult feat, it is quite inevitable that the other alternative should be acknowledged to be impossible; for it does not belong to the majority of men to acquire virtue. And again, even though a base man should obtain supreme power, yet he is preferable to the masses of like character, as the history of the Greeks and barbarians and of the Romans themselves proves. section 3For successes have always been greater and more frequent in the case both of cities and of individuals under kings than under popular rule, and disasters do not happen so frequently under monarchies as under mob-rule. Indeed, if ever there has been a prosperous democracy, it has in any case been at its best for only a brief period, so long, that is, as the people had neither the numbers nor the strength sufficient to cause insolence to spring up among them as the result of good fortune or jealousy as the result of ambition. ~ Cassius Dio
Test Of Character quotes by Cassius Dio
I love making stuff. There's a joy in having the first molecule of an idea, then testing it in front of audiences at secret shows that people only know about the day before. I videotape those, study them, enjoy being in the character and figuring out the movie. ~ Mike Myers
Test Of Character quotes by Mike Myers
The idea of us telling a story where a character doesn't get everything he wants at the end is one of the relatable things - dealing with failures and missteps in life - and it's something that's so rarely dealt with in movies, especially kids' movies. ~ Dan Scanlon
Test Of Character quotes by Dan Scanlon
How intoxicating to feel like God the Father and to hand out definitive testimonials of bad character and habits. ~ Albert Camus
Test Of Character quotes by Albert Camus
All the characters on 'Girls' are growing and changing, which is how real people behave, especially when we're young, trying to figure out who we are, doing things that are the polar opposite of our characteristics. ~ Zosia Mamet
Test Of Character quotes by Zosia Mamet
Find what you love to do, what you're good at and passionate about and then dedicate your entire life to working hard at it. I wil say it again. Work hard. I mean that. Even if you're not sure where that work will lead, even if it is underappreciated or undervalued. Do it because the satisfaction, pride, and sense of self that comes from a job well done; from being the very best at what you do; from knowing that you did this, will be your ulltimate weapon and our greatest shield in a life that will often test you. One day destiny may conspire to take everything away from you, but it can never take away the abilities you have cultivated. As I am sure your grandfather will tell you, your winning lottery ticket is your mind. ~ Amy Mowafi
Test Of Character quotes by Amy Mowafi
Keep in mind that the true measure of an individual is how he treats a person who can do him absolutely no good. ~ Ann Landers
Test Of Character quotes by Ann Landers
You got a tattoo?" It's the third time I've asked Holder the same question, but I just don't believe it. It's out of character for him. Especially since I'm not the one who encouraged it. "Jesus, Daniel," he groans on the other end of the line. "Stop. And stop asking me why." "It's just a weird thing to tattoo on yourself. Hopeless. It's a very depressing term. But still, I'm impressed." "I gotta go. I'll call you later this week." I sigh into the phone. "God, this sucks, man. The only good thing about this entire school since you moved is fifth period. ~ Colleen Hoover
Test Of Character quotes by Colleen Hoover
You are angry with your neighbor, you despise him, do not like to speak peaceably and lovingly to him, because there is something harsh, abrupt, careless, unpleasant to you in his character, in his speech, in his manners-because he is more conscious of his dignity than perhaps is necessary; or because he may be somewhat proud and disrespectful; but you yourself, your neighbor's physician and teacher, are more guilty than him. ~ John Of Kronstadt
Test Of Character quotes by John Of Kronstadt
The true elitists in the literary world are the ones who have become annoyed by literary ambition in any form, who have converted the very meaning of ambition so totally that it now registers as an act of disdain, a hostility to the poor common reader, who should never be asked to do anything that might lead to a pulled muscle. (What a relief to be told there's no need to bother with a book that might seem thorny, or abstract, or unusual.) The elitists are the ones who become angry when it is suggested to them that a book with low sales might actually deserve a prize ( ... ) and readers were assured that the low sales figures for some of the titles could only mean that the books had failed our culture's single meaningful literary test. ~ Ben Marcus
Test Of Character quotes by Ben Marcus
My aunt Caroline was really a character. She lived and worked in my grandfather's old house and even wore some of his clothes. ~ Jamie Wyeth
Test Of Character quotes by Jamie Wyeth
A taste for liberal art is necessary to complete the character of a gentleman, Science alone is hard and mechanical. It exercises the understanding upon things out of ourselves, while it leaves the affections unemployed, or engrossed with our own immediate, narrow interests. ~ William Hazlitt
Test Of Character quotes by William Hazlitt
Science is not an intelligence test. Intuition is important, knowing what kind of questions to ask. The other thing is a passion for getting to the core of the problem. ~ Torsten Wiesel
