Character

1. "Character is a slowly forming thing. You can no more force character on someone than you can force a tree to produce fruit when it isn't ready to do so. The person has to choose, again and again, to develop the moral muscles and skills which will shape and form the fully flourishing character." - N.T. Wright, After You Believe (1/3/12)
2. “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 (11/25/12)
3. "Character-- the making and sustaining a character-- is a communal event, not an individual possession."  Real Sex, page 52 (7/31/12)
