You can't build a reputation on what you intend to do.

Begin somewhere; you cannot build a reputation on what you intend to do.

With enough courage, you can do without a reputation.

You can't buy a good reputation; you must earn it.

Build your reputation by helping other people build theirs.

You can never take your reputation back. There really is nothing as powerful as a good reputation.

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.

It's better to not have a reputation than a bad one.

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.

I would not do anything to besmirch my reputation any further than it has already been.
