Famous quotes containing the words character and/or spot:
“There is no character, howsoever good and fine, but it can be destroyed by ridicule, howsoever poor and witless. Observe the ass, for instance: his character is about perfect, he is the choicest spirit among all the humbler animals, yet see what ridicule has brought him to. Instead of feeling complimented when we are called an ass, we are left in doubt.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“The tenderest spot in a man’s make-up is sometimes the bald spot on top of his head.”
—Helen Rowland (1875–1950)
