“Reputation is the road to power”
“Any society's upper-crust is riddled with immorality, how else d'you think they keep their power? Reputation is king of the public sphere, not private. It is dethroned by public acts.”
“Reputation Is Temporary..As Much as The Man Owning Your Reputation Is”
“Lucy had to guard her reputation - her reputation for sanity - the way that a woman a hundred years before would have had to guard her reputation for virtue.”
“Reputation is an idle and most false imposition, oft got without merit and lost without deserving. You have lost no reputation at all unless you repute yourself such a loser.”
“A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well.”
