From Bunyan Characters (First Series), by Alexander Whyte
Without self-knowledge you have no real root in yourselves.
A man’s character does not have its seat or source in his body; character is not a physical thing.
Acts, often repeated, gradually become habits, and habits, long enough continued, settle and harden into character.
The world loves its own, that all men worship talent, while only one here and one there values moral character.
Character comes up out of the will and out of the heart.
