"Reputation is an idle and most false..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Present fears are less than horrible imaginings.”

“We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.”

“I love a ballad in print o' life, for then we are sure they are true.”

“Be the kind of person that you want people to think you are.”

“Get someone else to blow your horn and the sound will carry twice as far.”

“If I had done everything I'm credited with, I'd be speaking to you from a laboratory jar at Harvard.”

“The small amount of foolery wise men have makes a great show.”

“It would astonish if not amuse the older citizens to learn that I (a strange, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working at ten dollars per month) have been put down as the candidate of pride, wealth, and aristocratic family distinction.”

“All perception is colored by emotion.”
