Reputation is favorable notoriety as distinguished from fame, which is permanent approval of great deeds and noble thoughts by the best intelligence of mankind.

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.

Reputations rise and fall almost as regularly as the tides.

Reputation is a timely subject, now that nobody has one.

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