Character

I taught Seminary for 14 years. I loved it. I miss it very much. I was reading through some of my Seminary notes today and came upon a quote that I had written down. I have no idea who said it but it was worth repeating. I would like to share it with you. I am hoping to get your imput on the quote.

 

"You Can't tell the character of an individual by the way he does his daily work. Watch him when his work is done. See where he goes. Note the companions he seeks, and the things he does when he may do as he pleases. Then you can tell his true Character"

 

As I pondered this quote, I realized, it is true.  Everything that I do in my spare time is an indication on who I am, what kind of person I am and what is important to me.

What do you think of this quote?

Do you think it is true?

This is so true, Connie. Great quote!

Good quote!

This is a good quote. I also think that the way a person handles an emergency of any sort speaks of his/her character.

Good quote, and very accurate. My mother always told me to watch people when they aren't being "watched" to see what type of people they are, which is basically what your quote is saying.

I think there is a lot of truth to that. Thanks.

Great quote and so true. I was thinking the same as Heather, -- Character is who you are when no one is watching.

Very good quote and I think it's definitely true.

I do think that you are your true self, when no one is watching.
Sharon R. May 28, 2008, 1:59pm EDT
Very good quote, I believe it to be true.

good quote!

Oh I like that it is so very true.
