Indulgence in frivolous speech not only reveals one's lack of moral character, but it deprives him of good qualities also.

Consider a man’s good qualities, and consider his faults; and judge his character by that which is more.

Mrs. Hopewell had no bad qualities of her own but she was able to use other people's in such a constructive way that she never felt the lack.

High moral character is not a precondition for great moral accomplishments.

My sister was the inspiration for the character, the good qualities instilled in the character. The initial inspiration was there, but Stargirl has taken on a life of her own. She's her own character now.

Character, in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of nations alike.
