God is far more interested in your character than he is your comfort, or your career, because you're not taking your career to heaven, but you are taking your character.
-- Rick Warren
.
Character is what God and the angels know of us; reputation is what men and women think of us.
-- Horace Mann
.
The world is to be cleaned by somebody, and you are not called of God if you are ashamed to scrub.
-- Henry Ward Beecher
.
Never ... think we have a due knowledge of ourselves till we have been exposed to various kinds of temptations, and tried on every side. Integrity on one side of our character is no voucher for integrity on another. We cannot tell how we should act if brought under temptations different from those we have hitherto experienced. This thought should keep us humble. We are sinners, but we do not know how great. He alone knows who died for our sins.
-- John Henry Newman
