"Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones"
- Phillips Brooks
About this Quote
This quote by Phillips Brooks speaks to the significance of character in our lives. Character is not something that is just revealed in moments of success, but rather it is something that is developed in time through little moments. It remains in the small moments of our lives that we make choices that shape our character. These choices can be as easy as how we deal with others, how we react to difficult situations, or how we handle our duties. Character is not something that is accomplished overnight, but rather it is something that is constructed over time through the little minutes of our lives. It is in these small minutes that we can select to show integrity, kindness, and regard. By making these small choices, we can build a strong character that will serve us well in the fantastic minutes of our lives.
