Famous quotes containing the words reputation and/or legacy:
““What have I earned for all that work,” I said,
“For all that I have done at my own charge?
The daily spite of this unmannerly town,
Where who has served the most is most defamed,
The reputation of his lifetime lost
Between the night and morning....””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
