“I think that shows a lot about us and a lot about our character because we easily could have just let this go just like we did the other night. But we didn't. The two 3s by Ann and Mel were the back-breakers and that's what Coach is looking for. He's looking for who's going to have the guts to step up and take those shots. And those two guys did it and that was the best thing that we could have taken out of this game.”
Barbara Turner
“Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, 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
“Any fool can criticize, condemn, and complain but it takes character and self control to be understanding and forgiving.”
Dale Carnegie
“Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.”
Albert Einstein
“Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us.”
Thomas Paine
“It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong; not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich; not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned; and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.”
Francis Bacon Sr.
