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

"If the Human Body is Obscene, Complain to the manufacturer, Not Me." ~Larry Flynt Long back while watching Discovery Channel. In a Program, I heard them say: "Our Body is Dynamic. Changes every day. Each & Every Day... ! Human Skeleton is COMPLETELY RENEWED every 10 years." *Current Research -- PMID: 8519493, PMID: 597437 [[ Pubmed IDs ]] We say that: (1) His Eyes are intense. (2) Her Smile is good. etc. IS IT FOR ALL? ...ALWAYS?? I'm trying to say that - Its All in the Eyes ! A person lying naked on the bed... can be anyone from a child to someone selling body for money. And EYES can be anything from Saintly Ignorant to Gyenocologist at Work to a Ponce to Sharp Shooter to Fighter Pilot to a Mother [[who feels - and not just See It !]] Some Child [[unable to See beyond some feet !]] to a Blind [[who still can see - WITHOUT EYES !]]... Or may be YOUR OWN EYES ! Well this Human Body as we SEE is not the same for long. Beautiful today, can be Granny tom...

A Man of Truth, must be a Man of Care ! ~Mahatma Gandhi Voces (1943) Translated from Spanish by W.S. Merwin A door opens to me. I go in and am faced with a hundred closed doors. He who holds me by a thread is not strong; the thread is strong. My great day came and went, I do not know how. Because it did not pass through dawn when it came, nor through dusk when it went. You are sad because they abandon you and you have not fallen. I would go to heaven, but I would take my hell; I would not go alone. My heaviness comes from the heights. Would there be this eternal seeking if the found existed? We become aware of the void as we fill it. Because they know the name of what I am looking for, they think they know what I am looking for ! A thing, until it is everything, is noise, and once it is everything it is silence. Before I travelled my road I was my road. When I die, I will not see myself die, for the first time. *** Antonio Porchia (November 13, 1886 - November 9, 1968) was an Italian...
