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.

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.

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.

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.
Power of sex
I don’t lie, I don’t cheat, and I don’t steal.
My reputation will then be at stake.
I do womanize, that I could not stop,
Which is more shameful; sex is defiant.

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.

Don't Cheat
Don't cheat it makes people sad
Don't cheat it makes people mad
Don't cheat it makes people die
Don't cheat it makes people lie
Don't cheat it makes people pi**ed
Don't cheat it makes people bit*chie
Don't cheat it makes people kill the person that cheated on them
Don't cheat it makes people get a knife and cut there self
People everyday die From getting cheated on
People hate people after it happens

The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.
Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempest.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

The Honest Spectator
you feel cheated
you will be sad for quite a time
but just like anything else
that sadness won't last
there is this urge
to cheat another
as a way of getting even
but you are different
you do not make yourself just like the rest of them
you stay there
honest to yourself
no longer sad
now gifted with wisdom
you think you understand
in the silence of that wisdom
you rise above this world divided
between those that cheat
and those who were cheated
