The circumstances in which you live determine your Reputation:
The truth you believe determines your Character.
THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE:
Reputation is what you are supposed to be;
Character is the face.
Reputation comes over one from without;
Character comes from within.
Reputation is what you have when you come to a new
community.
Character is what you have when
you go away.
Your Reputation is learned
in an hour;
Your Character does not come to
light for a year.
A single newspaper report gives you your Reputation;
A life of toil gives you your Character.
Reputation makes you rich or makes you
poor;
Character makes you happy or makes
you miserable.
Reputation is what men
say about you on your tombstone;
Character is what angels say about you.
