Famous quotes containing the word reputation:

    “I see my reputation is at stake,
    My fame is shrewdly gored.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    —Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)

    “So-called professional mathematicians have, in their reliance on the relative incapacity of the rest of mankind, acquired for themselves a reputation for profundity very similar to the reputation for sanctity possessed by theologians.”
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
