Quote

A man's character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation.

A man's own manner and character is what most becomes him.

The man of character is the persistent man, the man who is faithful to his own word, his own convictions, his own affections.

A man is as alive as he can communicate.

A man with a so-called character is often a simple piece of mechanism; he has often only one point of view for the extremely complicated relationships of life.

A man's character is his fate.

Man is what he reads.

Character is the starting point from which we go on. When I say a man has character, I mean that when you go to that man and say, 'What are the facts in this case?' he will tell you the truth, justly, truly, and wisely as he knows, with the minimum of exhibitionism and the maximum of devotion to the common cause.

The writer of stories or of novels settles on men and imitates them; he exhausts the possibilities of his characters.
