20 Good Character Traits Essential For Happiness
“His conscience was the strongest element of his nature. His affections were tender and warm. His whole nature was simple and sincere – he was pure, and then was himself.”
“Such a nature was admirably constituted to direct an heroic struggle on the part of a people proud enough to prefer a guide to a leader, a man commissioned to execute the popular will but, as in his case, strong enough to enforce his own.”
If you haven't guessed yet, these good traits were written about the character of the sixteenth President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.
President Lincoln was a role model for integrity and honesty. He offers us so many examples of good character traits. These good qualities stayed with Lincoln throughout the trials and tribulations of leading a country during one of the worst periods of its history.
Of course, Lincoln was president during the 19th century when the character of a person was a highly-regarded quality.
What is Good Character?
When a person possesses good character it can be observed through their actions. It's not limited to a single value but the traits are demonstrated in the “good” choices they make and the “bad” choices they avoid.
According to historian Warren Susman in his book Culture as History, the use of the phrase “good character” peaked in the 19th century. “Character was a keyword in the vocabulary of Englishmen and Americans,” says Susman, and so important to society that it was promoted as an essential component of one's identity.
Things began to change in the 20th century, as we transitioned from a producing to a consuming society. Emphasis shifted from a focus on virtue and good character to a focus on self and material possessions.
Says Susman, “The vision of self-sacrifice began to yield to that of self-realization.”
