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.
