“If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time.”
Abraham Lincoln
“Beauty is defined by the image of your soul. Taint your soul...Taint your beauty.”
Dedrick D. L. Pitter
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
Marianne Williamson
“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently.”

“The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.”
Socrates
“One can survive everything, nowadays, except death, and live down everything except a good reputation.”
Oscar Wilde
