Perception often lags behind reality, and I can say from experience that the vast majority of public officials in Louisiana are much better than our reputation holds us to be.
John KennedyI do take pride in saying that in spite of being in public life for so long, there is not a single case against me, not even for wrongly parking a scooter or driving on the wrong side.
Narendra ModiGood fame is like fire; when you have kindled you may easily preserve it; but if you extinguish it, you will not easily kindle it again.
Francis BaconIt pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety.
Isaac AsimovThe easiest way to get a reputation is to go outside the fold, shout around for a few years as a violent atheist or a dangerous radical, and then crawl back to the shelter.
F. Scott FitzgeraldCharacter is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
Abraham LincolnI started off with sim driving, playing ‚Gran Turismo,‘ and my Dad had some sort of Logitech steering wheel with pedals for the PlayStation 2.

Richard BransonNo man will ever carry out of the Presidency the reputation which carried him into it.

Dwayne JohnsonMany a man’s reputation would not know his character if they met on the street.
Elbert HubbardAny hand that I’ve shaken, any person that I met when I was Joe Blow, now that I’m this guy Kevin Hart, has come back. That’s why I treat everybody with respect. I’m always a nice pleasant guy to meet because when they come back to you, they remember.
Kevin HartI like my fair share of board games.
Sunil ChhetriI’ve been talked about by a lot better people than the general public.
Abby Lee MillerMaybe some people can wake up and play PlayStation all day, but that’s never been me.
Tom BradyReputation is the cornerstone of power. Through reputation alone you can intimidate and win; once it slips, however, you are vulnerable, and will be attacked on all sides. Make your reputation unassailable.
Robert GreeneGame’s always been open arms with me.
Nipsey HussleWar will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today.
John F. KennedyI think that both parties should declare the debt limit as a political weapon of mass destruction which can’t be used. I mean, it is silly to have a country that has 237 years building up its reputation and then have people threaten to tear it down because they’re not getting some other matter.
Warren BuffettI’m bad at picking heroes.
Margaret AtwoodA reputation as a hard worker is a good reputation to have.

Richard P. FeynmanWhoever renders service to many puts himself in line for greatness – great wealth, great return, great satisfaction, great reputation, and great joy.
Jim RohnI don’t think I’m supposed to boss other people around just because I’m a so-called celebrity or star. I hate that when people act that way. No one deserves it. I’ve seen it happen. I don’t call those people out – they know who they are. Some enjoy that reputation.
Dolly PartonMore than anything else, I want the folks back at home to think right of me.
Elvis PresleyYou can always think of something like the Xbox 360 as a super set-top box that can do everything the set-top box does, but then have the graphics to do the games as well.
Bill GatesIt takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.
Benjamin FranklinReputation is an idle and most false imposition; oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.
William ShakespeareI hope to build a reputation as a science-fiction writer. That’s the pitch. We’ll see.
Kurt VonnegutI find that he is happiest of whom the world says least, good or bad.
Thomas JeffersonGames lubricate the body and the mind.
Benjamin FranklinCaesar’s wife must be above suspicion.

George WashingtonI have not written in vain if I have heretofore done anything towards diminishing the reputation of the Renaissance landscape painting.
John RuskinThe most important thing for a young man is to establish a credit… a reputation, character.
John D. RockefellerI have a little bit of that gamer spirit in me. I just don’t have the time to be a gamer. But in another life, I would be one.
J. ColeAt ev’ry word a reputation dies.
Alexander PopeTime, which alone makes the reputation of men, ends by making their defects respectable.
VoltaireI just feel so much more comfortable and confident every game I play.
Stephen CurryFew people think more than two or three times a year; I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week.
George Bernard ShawTake from a man his reputation for probity, and the more shrewd and clever he is, the more hated and mistrusted he becomes.
Marcus Tullius CiceroYou can’t reverse fame. You can lose all the money, but you’ll never lose people knowing you.
J. ColeI used to bodyguard for Muhammad Ali, Leon Spinks, Sugar Ray Leonard. I used to bodyguard a lot of diamond merchants; I would travel with a suitcase full of diamonds and take them from point A to point B. My reputation grew because I was a professional. I did my job, and I was courteous – a no-nonsense guy.
Mr. TThere’s one advantage in having been around as long as I have. Everybody in the Senate knows me, and – I’m going to say something presumptuous, to repeat myself – I think most respect me.
Joe BidenMost of the stuff I try in a game, in the moment, I have supreme confidence I’m going to execute it.
Stephen CurryFor my name and memory I leave to men’s charitable speeches, and to foreign nations and the next ages.
Francis BaconEvery man’s reputation proceeds from those of his own household.
Marcus Tullius CiceroIf all men knew what others say of them, there would not be four friends in the world.
Blaise PascalHow great are the dangers I face to win a good name in Athens.
Alexander the GreatComputers are still technology because we are still wrestling with it: it’s still being invented; we’re still trying to work out how it works. There’s a world of game interaction to come that you or I wouldn’t recognise. It’s time for the machines to disappear. The computer’s got to disappear into all of the things we use.
Douglas AdamsYou get a reputation for stability if you are stable for years.
Mark ZuckerbergWhen a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.
Warren BuffettThe more you are talked about the less powerful you are.
Benjamin DisraeliA celebrated people lose dignity upon a closer view.
Napoleon BonaparteA good name is rather to be chosen than riches.
King SolomonGreece needs to work on a cleaner image. It’s a big problem, as they have this reputation of being so corrupt.
Karl LagerfeldIf you get to my age in life and nobody thinks well of you, I don’t care how big your bank account is, your life is a disaster.
Warren Buffett
