"Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries."
"The true test of character is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do."
Curious, that two of my improbable heroes (Michener, often dismissed as a mass-producer of potboiler fiction, but actually a fine writer, despite being a successful one; and Holt, an entertaining and influential writer on the philosophy and practice of education) should have had such similar thoughts on the nature of moral character.
