No one wants to have a bad reputation and to be laughed at, ostracized or ridiculed.
We all want to be loved and admired. We all want our reputations to be positive and for others to view us as examples and good citizens.
Your character determines your reputation and the way others such as your family, children, friends and co-workers among others; perceive, feel and interact with you. "Character is built upon the foundational commitment of love, honesty, and compassion for others."
We have all heard, at some point in life the quote "what does not kill you strengthens you". There is much truth is this saying. Adversity strongly influences life and can shape character. Most people prize integrity, strength, and individuality as the greatest defining features of anyone’s character.

There’s no replacement for good character and integrity. That’s why we admire and gravite towards others with those admirable qualities.
...And some wise, insightful quotes about character to motivate you to live life well.
