Horace Mann

« All quotes from this author
 

There is a very great difference — is there not? — between the temporal and the eternal judgments, a very great difference between a man's reputation and a man's character, for reputation is what men think and say of us, while character is what God and the angels know of us.
--
Price Collier, in Sermons (1892)

Character is what you are. Reputation is what others think you are. The reason that some fail to climb the ladder of success, or of leadership if you want to call it that, is that there is a difference between reputation and character. The two do not always coincide. A man may be considered to have sterling chracter. Opportunity might come to that man; but if he has the reputation for something he is not, he may fail that opportunity. I think character is the foundation of successful leadership.

 
Lucian Truscott
 

A man is what he is, not what men say he is. His character no man can touch. His character is what he is before his God and his Judge; and only himself can damage that. His reputation is what men say he is. That can be damaged; but reputation is for time, character is for eternity.

 
John Bartholomew Gough
 

Reputation is what men and women think of us, character is what God and the angels know of us.

 
Horace Mann
 

Character is what God and the angels know of us; reputation is what men and women think of us.

 
Horace Mann
 

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. For your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
