One can easily judge the character of a person by the way they treat people who can do nothing for them. – Proverb

Sow a thought and you reap an action;
sow an act and you reap a habit;
sow a habit and you reap a character;
sow a character and you reap a destiny. – Anon.

Character is that which reveals moral purpose, exposing the class of things a man chooses or avoids. – Aristotle
