All gods are better than their reputation. Mark Twain

I would like to be known as a person who is concerned about freedom and equality and justice and prosperity for all people. Rosa Parks
Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of – for credit is like fire; when once you have kindled it, you may easily preserve it – but if you once extinguish it, you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again. Thus a good reputation is to endeavour to be what you desire to appear. Socrates
The reputation which the world bestows is like the wind, that shifts now here now there, its name changed with the quarter whence it blows. Dante Alighieri, 1265-1321, Divina Commedia Purgatorio canto 11
O! I have lost my reputation. I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial. William Shakespeare, Othello II iii 264

Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! Luke 6:26
Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company. George Washington
The easiest way to get a reputation is to go outside the fold, shout around for a few years as a violent atheist or a dangerous radical, and then crawl back to the shelter. F Scott Fitzgerald
Gain a modest reputation for being unreliable and you will never be asked to do a thing. Paul Theroux
A good reputation is more valuable than money. Publilius Syrus
My reputation grows with every failure. George Bernard Shaw
Ought I not to have been more careful to win the good opinion of others, more determined to conquer their hostility or indifference? It would have been a joy to me to be smiled upon, loved, encouraged, welcomed, and to obtain what I was so ready to give, kindness and goodwill. But to hunt down consideration and reputation – to force the esteem of others – seemed to me an effort unworthy of myself, almost a degradation. Henri-Frédéric Amiel, Journal Intime, 1882
How many people live on the reputation of the reputation they might have made! Oliver Wendell Holmes, The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table
It is a maxim with me that no man was ever written out of reputation but by himself. Richard Bentley
One can survive everything nowadays, except death, and live down anything, except a good reputation. Oscar Wilde
No man will ever carry out of the Presidency the reputation which carried him into it. Thomas Jefferson
You spoke with passion. And compassion. You understand forgiveness. And you drink water. Yet I heard from many reliable sources that you have a reputation for moral turpitude. Peaky Blinders s6e2: Black Shirt ***** BBC 2022
