The only thing worse than bad health is a bad name.[Lo único peor que la mala salud es la mala fama.]
Until you’ve lost your reputation, you never realize what a burden it was or what freedom really is.
The fear came then. The shield wall is a terrible place. It is where a warrior makes his reputation, and reputation is dear to us. Reputation is honour, but to gain that honour a man must stand in the shield wall where death runs rampant.
Reputation, reputation, reputation! O, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial.
Reputation makes fear, and pride protects reputation.
Reputation is an idle and most false imposition: oft got without merit, and lost without deserving.
One can survive everything nowadays, except death, and live down anything except a good reputation.
I see my reputation is at stake; My fame is shrewdly gor’d.
A good name is better than riches.[translation by John Willis Clark]A good name is better than great riches.[translation by John Ormsby][Que más vale el buen nombre que las muchas riquezas.]
