Whatever a man wants badly and persistently enough will determine the man's character.

If all else fails, the character of a man can be recognized by nothing so surely as by a jest which he takes badly.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
Not greatly gifted, not deeply beautiful, Madonna tells America that fame comes from wanting it badly enough. And everyone is terribly good at badly wanting things.
Martin Amis
You will find that [the] State [Department] is the kind of organisation which, though it does big things badly, does small things badly too.
John Kenneth Galbraith
Are you expecting God to fill your needs? Are you asking him to do so - regularly, earnestly and persistently?
Bill Hybels
Character means that the person derives his rules of conduct from himself and from the dignity of humanity. Character is the common ruling principle in man in the use of his talents and attributes. Thus it is the nature of his will, and is good or bad. A man who acts without settled principles, with no uniformity, has no character. A man may have a good heart and yet no character, because he is dependent upon impulses and does not act according to maxims. Firmness and unity of principle are essential to character.
Immanuel Kant
