You can never take your reputation back. There really is nothing as powerful as a good reputation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You can't buy a good reputation; you must earn it.
Most reputations are not ruined but forgotten.
You can't build a reputation on what you intend to do.
A reputation takes years and years and years to build, and it takes one press of a button to ruin it. Don't let that happen to you. You've done so much work; you've put in so much effort. Don't let one moment ruin your entire life because you wanted to be funny or you were mad or because you had a mood.
Reputation is only a candle, of wavering and uncertain flame, and easily blown out, but it is the light by which the world looks for and finds merit.
With enough courage, you can do without a reputation.
Where do you go to buy back your reputation when you lose it?
It's better to not have a reputation than a bad one.
You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do.
I've never tried to enhance my reputation. Never moved upwards from one thing to another. That sort of thing is of no interest to me at all.
