טקסט מקורי - אנגלית - Character is destiny. Practice is realization.

"Character" here is meant to signify the embodied, essential self, cultivated or not. What we are leads to what we become.

"Practice" here is meant to signify something more than unintentional habit, a practice, a chosen path of action which will lead one to the realized self latent or inherent in one's practice.
