Reputation is favorable notoriety as distinguished from fame, which is permanent approval of great deeds and noble thoughts by the best intelligence of mankind.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us.
There are two way of establishing a reputation, one to be praised by honest people and the other to be accused by rogues. It is best, however, to secure the first one, because it will always be accompanied by the latter.
I don't see why it should be remarkable that you can acquire a reputation for fairness and decency. Those are qualities shared by so many people. And the great majority of people I meet are decent people, just trying to navigate their way through the world without causing too much trouble.
A good reputation is more valuable than money.
There's this notion that in order to draw attention and to be considered for roles I want to be considered for, you need a certain amount of notoriety.
Fame is something that is bestowed upon you because of success. Success is something you have to chase.
Some people obtain fame, others deserve it.
It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.
Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.
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.
