The test of real character is what a man does when he is tired.

Winston Churchill

The test of a man’s religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does in the ordinary times, when there is nothing tremendous or exciting on. The worth of a man is revealed in his attitude to ordinary things when he is not before the footlights.

Oswald Chambers

I always felt the true test of a man's character is how he treats people he can't use.

Lee Corso

Life brings sorrows and joys alike. It is what a man does with them - not what they do to him - that is the true test of his mettle.

Theodore Roosevelt

The test of character is not persistence when you expect a light at the end of the tunnel. The true test is performance and persistence when you see no light coming.

James Arthur Ray

I try to act as a man of character if no one is watching or if the world is watching.

Deshaun Watson

Intentions are invisible but they are the true test of character.

Alfred Armand Montapert

"There is one basis of science," says Descartes, "one test and rule of truth, namely, that whatever is clearly and distinctly conceived is true." A profound psychological mistake. It is true only of formal logic, wherein the mind never quits the sphere of its first assumptions to pass out into the sphere of real existences; no sooner does the mind pass from the internal order to the external order, than the necessity of verifying the strict correspondence between the two becomes absolute. The Ideal Test must be supplemented by the Real Test, to suit the new conditions of the problem.

George Henry Lewes

It is true that social media, nowadays, is important, but I don't understand everyone needing to know everything about an artist or an actor because it loses the intrigue and mystery. And then, when you're watching them as a character, you can't watching them as a character. You can only watch them as the public figure that they have presented themselves to be. I hate when people say, "Well, that's what you signed up for. That's how it is." No its not. That's not what you signed up for.

Zoey Deutch

The true test of a person's character is how they treat the people in life that they don't need.

Lee Corso

True character stands the test of emergencies. Do not be mistaken, it is weakness from which the awakening is rude.

Napoleon Bonaparte

The true test of a character is to face hard conditions with the determination to make them better.

Helen Keller

Where does a character come from? Because a character, at the end of the day, a character will be the combination of the writing of the character, the voicing of the character, the personality of the character, and what the character looks like.

Brian Henson

Golf... is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that only God is watching him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will serve you faithfully and well.
