The worst thing that can happen to a man is to lose his money, the next worst his health, the next worst his reputation.
Samuel Butler – Reputation, Money, Health
You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do.
Henry Ford – Reputation
Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.
William Shakespeare – Reputation is an idle
A fair reputation is a plant, delicate in its nature, and by no means rapid in its growth. It will not shoot up in a night like the gourd of the prophet; but, like that gourd, it may perish in a night.
Jeremy Taylor – Reputation
We would all like a reputation for generosity and we’d all like to buy it cheap.
Mignon Mclaughlin – Reputation
The great difficulty is first to win a reputation; the next to keep it while you live; and the next to preserve it after you die, when affection and interest are over, and nothing but sterling excellence can preserve your name. Never suffer youth to be an excuse for inadequacy, nor age and fame to be an excuse for indolence.
Benjamin Haydon – Reputation
A man’s reputation is what other people think of him; his character is what he really is.
Abraham Lincoln – Reputation
How many worthy men have we seen survive their own reputations!
Michel de Montaigne – Reputation
I wrote the story myself. It’s about a girl who lost her reputation and never missed it.
Mae West – Reputation
Associate with men of good quality, if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.
George Washington – Reputation
Reputation, reputation, reputation! O, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial.
William Shakespeare – Reputation
Until you’ve lost your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was or what freedom really is.
Margaret Mitchell – Reputation
No man can understand why a woman shouldn’t prefer a good reputation to a good time.
Helen Rowland – Reputation
The two most precious things this side of the grave are our reputation and our life. But it is to be lamented that the most contemptible whisper may deprive us of the one, and the weakest weapon of the other.
Charles Caleb Colton – Reputation
Reputations will continue to be made by many acts and be lost by one.
