Character Is Power! - Booker T. Washington

Definition Of Character : 

Definition Of Character The word “character” comes to us from a Greek verb that means making a furrow, cutting a groove, or putting a scratch on something as a mark. In the light of its origin, we may think of character as that which puts its mark on a human being. Character is what makes you “what you are” as distinct from other persons. The individual is little more than a “bundle of feelings” unless there is some central loyalty within creating order out of the “chaos of the soul.” Character signifies the organization of life and behavior around a central loyalty, which has ethical worth and validity.
