The circumstances amid which you live determine your reputation; the truth you believe determines your character.
Reputation is the photograph; character is the face.
Reputation is what you are supposed to be; character is what you are.
Reputation is a manufactured thing rolled and plated and hammered and brazed and bolted; character is a growth.
Reputation comes over one from without; character grows up 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.
Reputation is made in a moment; character is built through a lifetime.
Reputation grows like a mushroom; character grows like an oak.
Reputation goes like the mushroom; character lasts through eternity.
A single newspaper report gives you your reputation; a life of toil gives you your character.
If you want to get a position, you need a reputation; if you want to keep it, you must have character.
Reputation is what men say about you on your tombstone; character is what the angels say about you before the throne of God.
Reputation is the basis of the temporal judgment of men; character is the basis of eternal judgment before God.
Reputation makes you rich or makes you poor; character makes you happy or makes you miserable.
