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
People often ask me if I know the secret of success, and if I could tell others how to make their dreams come true. My answer is, you do it by working. – Walt Disney
