Reputation // Character

"The circumstances amid which you live determine your reputation; the truth you believe in determines your character.

Reputation is what you're 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 go to a new community; character is what you have when you go away.

Your reputation is learnt within an hour; your character does not come to light for a year.

Reputation is made in a moment; character is built in a lifetime.

Reputation grows like a mushroom; character grows like an oak tree.

A single newspaper report gives you your reputation; a life of toil gives you your character.

Reputation makes you rich or makes you poor; character makes you either happy or miserable.

Reputation is what men say about you on your tombstone; character is what angels say about you before the throne of GOD."

Just a beautiful quote I came across a few years ago when I was much younger and decided to share it, for I felt people needed a reminder of this, now so more than ever.
