Timeless Reflections stationery with the following in typewriter text: The grand gestures and headline-grabbing moments tend to get the most attention. But pay attention to the smaller and more human gestures. These are the true indicators of character. "And the most glorious exploits do not always furnish us with the clearest discoveries of virtue or vice in men; sometimes a matter of less moment, an expression or a jest, informs us better of their characters and inclinations, than the most famous sieges, the greatest armaments, or the bloodiest battles." - Plutarch

Watch how people act when they’re not under the spotlight — when they’re in private or when they interact with someone who has no power over them.

This is the true indicator of a person’s character.
