"Unlike wealth, fame makes it easier for some men and more difficult for some to sleep around."
"Reputation is only a candle, of wavering and uncertain flame, and easily blown out, but it is the light by which the world looks for and finds merit."

"Like it or not, your life-what works well and what doesn't-is largely the result of the first impressions you have created along the way."

It is silly of you, for there is only one thing in the world worse than begin talked about, and that is not being talked about. A portrait like this would set you far above all the young men in England, and make the old men jealous, if old men are ever capable of any emotion."
