Don’t sacrifice your peace trying to point out someone’s true colors. Lack of character always reveals itself in the end.
Character
N T Wright
The future goal is the thing which produces character in the present.
Floyd McClung Sr
Character is the one thing we develop in this world and take with us into the next.
Character is what you really are; reputation is what people say you are supposed to be.
Character is the face; reputation is the photograph.
Character grows from within; reputation grows from without.
Reputation is what you have when you move to a new community. Character is what you have when you leave.
Character is built over a lifetime. Reputation can be made in a moment.
Character grows like an oak; reputation grows like a mushroom.
A single news report can give you a reputation. A life of diligence gives you character.
Reputation is what men will say about you on your tombstone. Character is what the angels will say about you before the throne of God.

If I believe, which I do, that God is love, that he has my best interests at heart while writing me into his beautiful plans for eternity then there is no reason for me not to bring my life into submission to a perfectly good God.
Catherine Marshall
Evil is real – and powerful. It has to be fought, not explained away, not fled. And God is against evil all the way. So each of us has to decide where we stand, how we’re going to live our lives. We can try to persuade ourselves that evil doesn’t exist; live for ourselves and wink at evil. We can say that it isn’t so bad after all, maybe even try to call it fun by clothing it in silks and velvets. We can compromise with it, keep quiet about it and say it’s none of our business. Or we can work on God’s side, listen for His orders on strategy against the evil, no matter how horrible it is, and know that He can transform it.
John Shearer
In every revival there is a re-emphasis of the Church’s missionary character. Men return to Calvary, and the world is seen afresh through the eyes of Christ. The infinite compassion of Christ fills the heart, and the passion evoked by Calvary demands the whole wide world as the fruit of His sacrifice.
Oswald Chambers
We all know people who have been made much meaner and more irritable and more intolerable to live with by suffering: it is not right to say that all suffering perfects. It only perfects one type of person…… the one who accepts the call of God in Christ Jesus.
Dr Dennis Anderson
You cannot see faith, but you can see the footprints of the faithful. We must leave behind “faithful footprints” for others to follow.
Christine Caine
Your talent will open the door but only your character can keep you there.

Character is not made in a crisis – it is only exhibited.
