Reputation
 
  Reputation, like beavers and cloaks, shall last some people twice the time of others.
            —Douglas Jerrold		  1
  The reputation of a man is like his shadow; it sometimes follows and sometimes precedes him, sometimes longer and sometimes shorter than his natural size.
            —French Proverb		  2
  Reputation, like other mistresses, is never true to a man in his absence.
            —William Wycherley		  3
