Character Over Reputation

Matthew HenryHere are some of the quotes I shared this morning…

The circumstances amid which you live determine your reputation …
   the truth you believe determines your character.…
Reputation is what you are supposed to be;
   character is what you are.…
Reputation is the photograph;
   character is the face.…
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 made in a moment;
   your character is built in a lifetime.…
Your reputation is learned in an hour;
   your character does not come to light for a year.…
Reputation grows like a mushroom;
   character lasts like eternity.…
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 the angels say about you before the throne of God. —William Hersey Davis

“Men may go toward Heaven, yet come short; and they may go to Hell with a good reputation.” —Matthew Henry

“If I take care of my character, my reputation will take care of itself.” —D.L. Moody
