Nothing reveals a man's character better than the kind of joke at which he takes offense.

Georg C. Lichtenberg

The Bible nowhere enters into an argument to prove the person and being of God. It assumes His being and reveals His person and character.

Edward McKendree Bounds

Nothing reveals character more than self-sacrifice. So the highest knowledge we have of God is through the gift of His Son.

William Torrey Harris

Worry is nothing but practical infidelity. The person who worries reveals his lack of trust in God and that he is trusting too much in self.

Lee Roberson

Perhaps no custom reveals our character as a Nation so clearly as our celebration of Thanksgiving Day.

Ronald Reagan

I like the idea of a writer being haunted by his own creation, especially if the writer resents the way the character defines him.

Bret Easton Ellis

Obama is from this group that resents the private sector, resents the capitalistic means of production.

Rush Limbaugh

Virtually nothing on earth can stop a person with a positive attitude who has his goals clearly in sight.

Denis Waitley

There is no kind obondage which life lays upon us that may not yield both sweetness and strength; and nothing reveals a man's character more fully than the spirit in which he bears his limitations.

Hamilton Wright Mabie

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow or love. Chained by his certitude, he is a slave; he has forfeited his freedom. Only the person who risks is truly free.

Leo Buscaglia

There's different kinds of improv. There's Second City improv where you try to slowly build a nice sketch. There's stuff you do in college coffee houses where you just go joke, joke, joke. Bring another funny character with a funny hat on his head. Christopher Guest is more the line of trying to get a story out.

Fred Willard

There is nothing a worker resents more than to see some man taking his job. A factory can be closed down, its chimneys smokeless, waiting for the worker to come back to his job, and all will be peaceful. But the moment workers are imported, and the striker sees his own place usurped, there is bound to be trouble.

Charles M. Schwab

It is a good plan, with a young person of a character to be much affected by ludicrous and absurd representations, to show him plainly by examples that there is nothing which may not be thus represented. He will hardly need to be told that everything is not a mere joke.

Richard Whately

The U.K. and Europe in general seem to be a lot more patient. The U.S. are expecting 'joke joke joke joke joke joke joke.' They don't actually sit and listen to you.

Bo Burnham

Brian is an archetypal character, a bit like Don Juan, which is how I play him. He's a blast to play. He believes unapologetically in his freedom. He holds nothing back. Something I'm learning is, you can't hate the character you play. If I think my character is an asshole, that's all that will come across. He is drawn in an extreme way, but that doesn't mean he's not a person.

Gale Harold

A man reveals his character even in the simplest things he does.
