"If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character is a by-product, and any man who devotes himself to its cultivation in his own case will become a selfish prig."

--Woodrow Wilson

"What man actually needs is not a tensionless state but rather the striving and struggling for some goal worthy of him. What he needs is not the discharge of tension at any cost, but the call of a potential meaning waiting to be fulfilled by him."

--Victor Frankl

"Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved."

--Helen Keller

"Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands."

--Anne Frank

"The best index to a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back."

--Abigail Van Buren
