reputation, n.Definitions

Reputation outruns and gets before people wherever they go.

Reputation is built on manner as much as on achievement.

Reputation is almost always capable of being reestablished, whatever ignominy or disgrace we have incurred.

Reputation is like the cypress - once cut, it never puts forth leaf again.

Reputation is of such value only because people so seldom think for themselves.

Reputation is a socially recognized persona: An organizing principle by which the actions of a person (or an organization that is thought of as a person) can be linked together.

A Reputation is not the opinion that one individual forms of another... rather, it is a shared, established image. It is embedded in social relations and connected to forms of communication embedded within a community.

Reputation is a hallmark such that it can remove doubt from pure silver and also make the plated article pass for pure.
