Famous quotes containing the word reputation:

    “Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “My reputation is a media creation.”
    —John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten)

    “Men will not give up their privilege of helplessness without a struggle. The average man has a carefully cultivated ignorance about household matters—from what to do with the crumbs to the grocer’s telephone number—a sort of cheerful inefficiency which protects him better than the reputation for having a violent temper.”
    —Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)
