Famous quotes containing the word reputation:
“From the moment a child begins to speak, he is taught to respect the word; he is taught how to use the word and how not to use it. The word is all-powerful, because it can build a man up, but it can also tear him down. Thats how powerful it is. So a child is taught to use words tenderly and never against anyone; a child is told never to take anyones name or reputation in vain.”
—Henry Old Coyote (20th century)

—Crystal Eastman (18811928)
“I see my reputation is at stake,
My fame is shrewdly gored.”
