Character determines how we lead our lives, how we deal with life’s unearned fortunes and misfortunes and how we make choices that determine how those fortunes and misfortunes work to make us what we become.

Michael Josephson

Character is doing the right thing even when it costs more than you want to pay. When it comes to character, you don’­t have to be sick to get better. It’­s easier for a good person to get better than for a bad person to get good.

Michael Josephson

Character is ethical and moral strength. People of good character have the moral awareness and strength to know the good, love the good and do the good.
