Character Defined !

Character is power; it makes friends,
draws patronage and support,
and opens a sure way to wealth,
honor, and happiness.
~John Howe

Personality can open doors,
but only character can keep them open.
~Elmer G. Letterman

The true test of character is not how much we know how to do,
but how we behave when we don't know what to do.
~John Holt

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
Only through experience of trial and suffering
can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired,
and success achieved.
~Helen Keller

Nearly all men can stand adversity,
but if you want to test a man's character,
give him power.
~Abraham Lincoln

The measure of a man's real character is
what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
~Thomas B. Macaulay

Bluntness is a virtue.
~Allison Ling

When you choose your friends,
don't be short-changed by choosing personality
over character.
~W. Somerset Maugham

Swami Vivekananda On Love !

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love." This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first crack it finds. This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand, love will retrieve from you . For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings. Give and don't expect. Advise, but don't order. Ask, but never demand. It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly ...
