Reputations Quotes (page 5)

The loss of virtue in a female is irretrievable - that one false step involves in her endless ruin - that her reputation is no less brittle than it is beautiful - and that she cannot be too much guarded in her behavior towards the undeserving of the opposite sex. Jane Austen
... all reputable falconers agreed that for hunting purposes the only way you could reliably bring down prey with a wowhawk was by using it in a slingshot. Terry Prachett
The Persian Version. Truth-loving Persians do not dwell upon. The trivial skirmish fought near Marathon. As for the Greek theatrical tradition. Which represents that summer's expedition. Not as a mere reconnaisance in force. By three brigades of foot and one of horse(Their left flank covered by some obsolete. Light craft detached from the main Persian fleet)But as a grandiose, ill-starred attempt. To conquer Greece - they treat it with contempt; And only incidentally refute. Major Greek... Robert Graves
There are outrages and there are outrages, and some are more outrageous than others. Mankind is resilient: the atrocities that horrified us a week ago become acceptable tomorrow. The Death of Socrates had no effect upon the history of Athens. If anything, the reputation of the city has been improved by it. The death of no person is as important to the future as the literature about it. You will learn nothing from history that can be applied, so don't kid yourself into thinking you... Joseph Heller
The Dresden atrocity, tremendously expensive and meticulously planned, was so meaningless, finally, that only one person on the entire planet got any benefit from it. I am that person. I wrote this book, which earned a lot of money for me and made my reputation, such as it is. One way or another, I got two or three dollars for every person killed. Some business I'm in. Kurt Vonnegut
Robert Bresson quote: "Laugh at a bad reputation. Fear a good one that you could not..."
Laugh at a bad reputation. Fear a good one that you could not sustain. Robert Bresson
Mark Twain quote: "This is Huck Finn, a child of mine of shady reputation. Be..."
This is Huck Finn, a child of mine of shady reputation. Be good to him for his parent's sake. Mark Twain
Aphra Behn quote: "Love, like reputation, once fled, never returns more."
Love, like reputation, once fled, never returns more. Aphra Behn
He in whom the love of repose predominates will accept the first creed, the first philosophy, the first political party he meets? most likely his father's. He gets rest, commodity, and reputation; but he shuts the door of truth. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Be still: There is no longer any need of comment. It was a lucky wind. That blew away his halo with his cares, A lucky sea that drowned his reputation. Thomas Merton
I have absolutely no pleasure in the stimulants in which I sometimes so madly indulge. It has not been in the pursuit of pleasure that I have periled life and reputation and reason. It has been the desperate attempt to escape from torturing memories, from a sense of insupportable loneliness and a dread of some strange impending doom. Edgar Allan Poe
Folly consists not in committing Folly, but in being incapable of concealing it. All men make mistakes, but the wise conceal the blunders they have made, while fools make them public. Reputation depends more on what is hidden than on what is seen. If you can’t be good, be careful. Baltasar Gracian
Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation, all which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, though religion were not, but superstition dismounts all these, and erecteth an absolute monarchy in the minds of men. Francis Bacon
Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation and social standing, never can bring about a reform. Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences... Susan B. Anthony
Rumi quote: "Love comes with a knife, not some shy question, and not with..."
Love comes with a knife, not some shy question, and not with fears for its reputation! Rumi
