Famous quotes containing the word reputation:

    The esteem of good men is the reward of our worth, but the reputation of the world in general is the gift of our fate.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    Men will not give up their privilege of helplessness without a struggle.

    Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)

    “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)
