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

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.

Reputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.

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

It is generally much more shameful to lose a good reputation than never to have acquired it.

It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.

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.

A good reputation is more valuable than money.

Reputations rise and fall almost as regularly as the tides.

Forgotten is forgiven.
