1. spirit

   Character is what one is; reputation, what he is thought to be; his record is the total of his known action or inaction. As a rule, a man’s record will substantially express his character; his reputation may be higher or lower than his character or record will justify. Repute is a somewhat formal word, with the same general sense as reputation. One’s nature includes all his original endowments or propensities; character includes both natural and acquired traits. We speak of one’s physical constitution as strong or weak, etc., and figuratively, always with the adjective, of his mental or moral constitution. Compare CHARACTERISTIC.

   Synonyms:
   character, constitution, disposition, genius, nature, personality, record, reputation, temper, temperament

   Preposition:
   The witness has a character for veracity; his character is above suspicion; the character of the applicant.

1. Thomas Jefferson:

   The Greeks by their laws, and the Romans by the spirit of their people, took care to put into the hands of their rulers no such engine of oppression as a standing army. Their system was to make every man a soldier, and oblige him to repair to the standard of his country whenever that was reared. This made them invincible and the same remedy will make us so.

2. Rex Kalamian:

   They had him for six fouls, and we had him for five, so I’m not quite sure, we’ll go back and find out where that sixth foul came in, but we wish he could have gotten a few more minutes. We love Luka’s effort and energy and spirit.

3. Benjamin W. Decker:

   In Matthew 7:20 (KJV), we are taught a profound secret for discerning of the Spirit: Where-fore by their fruits ye shall know them. This means that we look to the health of the part (the fruit) to gauge the health of the whole. A healthy tree will bear good fruit; an unhealthy tree will bear low-quality fruit.

4. Lori Lyon:

   She had a quiet, calming presence. She was a free spirit, always standing up for those who were suffering and wanting to be their voice, kayla had such great empathy, and it’s hard to find that in this world. It’s really rare, and it was her greatest strength.

5. Shah Asad Rizvi:

   Spirit is a child, the tune of dancing feet its lullaby
