“At every word a reputation dies.”

“Words are mighty, words are living:
Serpents with their venomous stings,
Or bright angels, crowding round us,
With heaven's light upon their wings:
Every word has its own spirit,
True or false, that never dies;
Every word man's lips have uttered
Echoes in God's skies.”

“I know I got a bad reputation
'Walk around, always mad' reputation
'Leave a pretty girl sad' reputation
Start a Fight Club, Brad reputation Close your eyes and let the word paint a thousand pictures
One good girl is worth a thousand bitches
Bound.”

“How many unuttered words died in the heads of those for whom a word was too expensive.”

“I really think we should modify the law so that one can be sued for defaming not only living people but also the memory and reputation of people who died centuries ago.”

“The very word "Christianity" is a misunderstanding — in truth, there was only one Christian, and he died on the cross.”

“How many people live on the reputation of the reputation they might have made!”

“Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions.”

“Every word has consequences. Every silence, too.”

“Every word is a prejudice.”
