The shame
To go without a reputation is a shame.
To lose the reputation is much more.
Shamelessness is the animalism,
Permissible only in sexual acts.

When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.

I would rather be cheated than cheat anyone. I would rather sacrifice 'gain' and have my reputation intact, because my reputation is more important to me than yours.

But I, Caesar, have not sought to amass wealth by the practice of my art, having been rather contented with a small fortune and reputation, than desirous of abundance accompanied by a want of reputation.

You have to face the fact that I have no reputation as a composer; I have my reputation as a songwriter and a performer-and that opportunity came this summer, when I was invited to perform at the Lincoln Centre festival in New York... three nights.

Mosheh
Men, brothers and fathers,
Seven men of honest reputation;
Women, sisters and mothers,
Seven women of reputation;
Mosheh was educated on all of the wisdoms of Egypt,
But i am amazed and marvelled about your love.
In righteous works and in the acts of charity,
And of an image of the calf on your table;
But silver and gold have i not.
My heart is of joy and my muse is to love you,
But my flesh is the hope that you need;
For Mosheh was trained in all of the wisdoms of Egypt,
And my tongue is of gladness today.

I had a national and international reputation. I had written the history and articles. So I brought to the Trotskyist movement some international reputation.

I know for me like I have a reputation of being kind of tough, I have a reputation of also being the girl next door, kind of sweet but I have standards and my thing is, it's me on that screen and I don't have control over everything in this and I'm grateful and thankful.
Shame’s Strength
Shame is a reaction you get
When your reputation is shaken.
If you do crime and have no shame
It means your society is sick.

Remarkably Insincere
Yeah, I'm such a liar
One time I told you
You were the highlight
Of all of my sexual life
While I'm confessing
When you're undressing
I was picking the lock
On your safe with my knife
Einstein
If you're so naive
That you believe
Everything I said to you
Well, I got your sex
And wrote you rubber checks
Well, what did you think
I was gonna do
My reputation for exaggeration
It never got to you
That's why I left Duluth
Sometimes I stretch the truth
My dearest darling
You know that luggage
It belonged to the blond
With the really nice pair
And incidentally
I sorely missed you
The pain was so hard to bear
If I would rate you
Not that I hate you
But you would end up
Eighth, maybe ninth in your class
Your build is hot now
If you could use your
Brain like you use your ass
Oh, you're so naive
How could you believe
Everything I said to you
My reputation for exaggeration
It never got to you
Sometimes I'm so uncouth
Sometimes I stretch the truth
Hey, I'm such a liar
One time I told you
You were the highlight
Of all of my sexual life
I'm remarkably insincere
Incredibly insincere
Totally insincere
Oh don't take it so hard, my dear
I'm consistently insincere

Worry more about your conscience than your reputation. Because your conscience is what you are, your reputation is what others think of you. And what others think of you is their problem.

Dignity and divinity
Dignity is the reputation
Acceptable to the conscience.
Divinity is the sacrifices
Induced by the conscience.

Honour and reputation
You can build up reputation.
It is what others know about you.
You must build up honour,
Which is what you know about you.

Reputation
I dont have a reputation
Falling faster all the time
Help me make my reputation
Ill help yours if youll help mine
My clothes are too big for my body
My bodys too big for my mind
I dont like humiliation
I can change my clothes
But I dont think Ill change my mind
Hey look! I just bought a beach house
So bring all your friends along
I dont need an explanation
Boss says I must leave right now
Take the night plane to vermont
Here I go, Im swinging low
Move out of my way
Come and take a look at what Ive found
Here I am, Ive got a plan
Dont walk away
My reputation follows me around
Once there was a girl in new york
Wonder where that girl has gone
She was full of adulation
I tried to phone her
Strange the number turns out wrong
Ive got all I ever wanted
But what Ive got, no-one wants to share
They turned down my application
Please wont you let me in
Seems like no-one ever cares

Days Of 1896
He became completely degraded. His erotic tendency,
condemned and strictly forbidden
(but innate for all that) , was the cause of it:
society was totally prudish.
He gradually lost what little money he had,
then his social standing, then his reputation.
Nearly thirty, he had never worked a full year—
at least not at a legitimate job.
Sometimes he earned enough to get by
acting the go-between in deals considered shameful.
He ended up the type likely to compromise you thoroughly
if you were seen around with him often.
But this isn't the whole story—that would not be fair.
The memory of his beauty deserves better.
There is another angle; seen from that
he appears attractive, appears
a simple, genuine child of love,
without hesitation putting,
above his honor and reputation,
the pure sensuality of his pure flesh.
Above his reputation? But society,
prudish and stupid, had it wrong.
