The circumstances amid which you live determine your reputation; The truth you believe determines your character.
Your reputation is learned in an hour; Your character is built in a lifetime.
Reputation is what you are supposed to be; Character is what you are.
Reputation makes you rich or makes you poor; Character makes you happy or makes you miserable.
Reputation is what men say about you on your tombstone; Character is what the angels say about you before the throne of God.
William Davis
