Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “Do you set down your name in the scroll of youth, that are written down old with all the characters of age?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “To marry a man out of pity is folly; and, if you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has “never had a chance, poor devil,” you are profoundly mistaken. One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak; and it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone.”
    —Margot Asquith (1864–1945)
