Character... is a habit, the daily choice of right over wrong; it is a moral quality which grows to maturity in peace and is not suddenly developed on the outbreak of war.

The first and last essential of an efficient soldier is character; without it he will not long endure the perils of modern war.

Courage is a moral quality; it is not a chance gift of nature like an aptitude for games. It is a cold choice between two alternatives, the fixed resolve not to quit; an act of renunciation which must be made not once but many times by the power of the will. Courage is willpower.

A man of character in peace is a man of courage in war.

Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconcious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character...

Character is long-standing habit.
