  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.

How to use spirit in a sentence?

  1. Barack Obama:

    But here's one thing that we can feel, we know, if our rhetoric about each other gets that mean. When we don't just disagree with people, but we start demonizing them, making wild, crazy allegations about them. That creates a dangerous climate. And if elected officials don't do more to explicitly reject that kind of rhetoric, if they tacitly support it or encourage their supporters to stand up inside voting places armed with guns and dressed in tactical gear, more people can get hurt, and we're going to be violating the basic spirit of this country.

  2. Anthony Albanese:

    That’s the question before the Australian people, nothing more, but nothing less, this moment has been a very long time in the making, yet they have shown such patience and optimism through this process. And that spirit of cooperation and thoughtful, respectful dialogue has been so important at arriving at this point in such a united fashion.

  3. Cicero:

    Be sure that it is not you that is mortal, but only your body. For that man whom your outward form reveals is not yourself the spirit is the true self, not that physical figure which and be pointed out by your finger.

  4. Kris Mohandie -LRB- left -RRB-:

    I ’d say one of the things that I never ceased to be amazed by is the triumph of the human spirit to endure through... unfathomable pain, what families live with when they have these kinds of unanswered questions. Even though I’ve seen it throughout my career, there’s never a time when I ’m not amazed by the people that survive and endure … I do believe we will have helped answer some very significant questions throughout these different investigations.

  5. Peter Turnley:

    I have a deep love for the people of Cuba, throughout a lifetime of world travel, rarely have I been to a place where I've witnessed so much grace, spirit, dignity and wonderful humanity.
