The only thing worse than bad health is a bad name.[Lo único peor que la mala salud es la mala fama.]
What’s in a name? That is what we ask ourselves in childhood when we write the name that we are told is ours.
It’s never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn’t hurt you.
The time would fail me if I were to recite all the big names in history whose exploits are perfectly irrational and even shocking to the business mind.
The names are the first things to go, after the breath has gone, and the beating of the heart. We keep our memories longer than our names.
The name of the game was to win, and you won by beating everyone else.
So long as we remember names, so long those people live.
One must always name a weapon. You cannot trust that which you cannot call by name.
Now, you people have names. That’s because you don’t know who you are. We know who we are, so we don’t need names.
I would rather make my name than inherit it.
Experience is the name every one gives to their mistakes.
Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life! Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because I am not worth the dust on the feet of them that hang! How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!
