The largest property may be wrested from a child, but virtue will stand by him to the last.: William Graham Sumner (1840 - 1910)

Character is what God and the angels know of us; reputation is what men and women think of us.: Horace Mann (1796 - 1859)
Glass, china, and reputation are easily cracked, and never well mended.: Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
