"Of course I'm a publicity hound. Aren't all crusaders? How can you accomplish anything unless people know what you are trying to do?"
Vivien Kellerns
"Regard your good name as the richest jewel you can possibly be possessed of - for credit is like fire; when once you have kindled it you may easily preserve it, but if you once extinguish it, you will find it an arduous task to rekindle it again. The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear."
Socrates
"Ninety-eight percent of the adults in this country are decent, hardworking, honest Americans. It's the other lousy two percent that get all the publicity. But then, we elected them."
Lily Tomlin
"If you would not be forgotten,
as soon as you are dead and rotten,
either write things worth reading,
or do things worth the writing."
Benjamin Franklin
"The nice thing about being a celebrity is that when you bore people, they think it's their fault."
Henry Kissinger
"Fame is vapor, popularity an accident, riches take wings.
Only one thing endures and that is character"
Horace Greeley
"He who anticipates his century is
generally persecuted when living,
and always pilfered when dead."
Benjamin Disraeli
"Without publicity there can be no public support, and without public support every nation must decay."
Benjamin Disraeli
"It pays to be obvious, especially if you have a reputation for subtlety."
Isaac Asimov
"Publicity is the life of this culture - in so far as without publicity capitalism could not survive - and at the same time publicity is its dream."
John Berger
"A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized."
Fred Allen
"Self-esteem is the reputation we acquire with ourselves."
Nathaniel Branden
"Publicity is a great purifier because it sets in action the forces of public opinion, and in this country public opinion controls the courses of the nation."
Charles Evans Hughes
"There are two modes of establishing our reputation: to be praised by honest men, and to be abused by rogues. It is best, however, to secure the former, because it will invariably be accompanied by the latter."
Charles Caleb Colton
"Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing."
Abraham Lincoln
"You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do."
Henry Ford
"As an adolescent I aspired to lasting fame, I craved factual certainty, and I thirsted for a meaningful vision of human life - so I became a scientist. This is like becoming an archbishop so you can meet girls."
M. Cartmill
"Wisdom alone is true ambition's aim
Wisdom the source of virtue, and of fame,
Obtained with labor, for mankind employed,
And then, when most you share it, best enjoyed."
Alfred North Whitehead
"Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel of their souls:
Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing;
'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him
And makes me poor indeed."
William Shakespeare
"Don't do or say things you would not like to see on the front page of The Washington Post."
Donald Rumsfeld
