Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself.

Reputation is what others perceive you as being, and their opinion may be right or wrong. Character, however, is what you really are, and nobody knows that but you.

Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself... Guard your honor. Let your reputation fall where it will. And
outlive the bastards.

Reputation is what others perceive you as being, and their opinion may be right or wrong. Character, however, is what you really are, and nobody truly knows that but you. But you are what matters most.

Your reputation is what you're perceived to be,
Your character is what you really are

Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself.... The friction tends to arise when the two are not the same....There is no more hollow feeling than to stand with your honor shattered at your feet while soaring public reputation wraps you in rewards. That's soul destroying. The other way around is merely very, very irritating.

Your reputation is your most important asset. It precedes you before you walk into the room and lingers long after the work is done.

Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us.

In some areas of life, your reputation is defined by your wins.

• Creative pursuits. One bestseller or hit song can erase the memory of the ones that didn't work.
• Entrepreneurship. People rarely remember your failed business ideas, only your winning ones.

In areas like these, your mistakes fade away and the breakthroughs last. But in other areas of life, your reputation is defined by your losses.

• Crime. You can drive safely 364 days a year, but one DUI changes everything.
• Ethics and morals. One unethical decision can ruin a reputation and destroy trust.

In areas like these, your mistakes linger and consistency is rewarded.

Some areas of life reward your best day. Others punish your worst day. <br/>Know which situation you're in, and you can better decide when to be risky and when to play it safe.

Reputation is an idle and most false imposition, oft got without merit and lost without deserving. You have lost no reputation at all unless you repute yourself such a loser.

As a general rule, a reputation is built on manner as much as on achievement.

Build a reputation that makes other people do deals through you.

Your reputation will always precede you; integrity is key. Pray.

The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.
