The first duty of a university is to teach wisdom, not trade; character, not technicalities.

The first duty of the university is to teach wisdom, not a trade; character, not technicalities. We want a lot of engineers in the modern world, but we do not want a world of engineers.

Whatever the mind of man creates, should be controlled by man's character.

The qualities of a great man are vision, integrity, courage, understanding, the power of articulation, and profundity of character.

You can judge a man's true character by the way he treats his fellow animals.

A picture or representation of human figures, ought to be done in such a way as that the spectator may easily recognise, by means of their attitudes, the purpose in their minds. Thus, if you have to represent a man of noble character in the act of speaking, let his gestures be such as naturally accompany good words; and, in the same way, if you wish to depict a man of a brutal nature, give him fierce movements; as with his arms flung out towards the listener, and his head and breast thrust forward beyond his feet, as if following the speaker's hands.
