Reputation is what others perceive you as being, and their opinion may be right or wrong. Character, however, is what you really are, and nobody truly knows that but you. But you are what matters most.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Character is what you really are. Reputation is what people say you are.

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

"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".

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.” — JOHN WOODEN

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.

Worry more about your character than your reputation. Character is what you are, reputation merely what others think you are.

Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself.

Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself... Guard your honor. Let your reputation fall where it will. And
outlive the bastards.

Character is like a tree and reputation its shadow. The shadow is what we think it is and the tree is the real thing.

Your self-portait decides your conduct.

You are what you believe yourself to be.

Things present themselves to you, and it's how you choose to deal with them that reveals who you are. We all say a lot of things, don't we, about who we are and how we think. But in the end it's your actions, how you respond to circumstance that reveals your character.

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.
