5. Proverbs 22:1 A good name (literally
"character") is rather to be chosen
than great riches, and loving favour
rather than silver and gold.
2 Peter 1:5 And beside this, giving all
diligence, add to your faith virtue
(moral excellence or character)
6. • Reputation is what you are supposed to
be; Character is what you are.
• Reputation is made in a moment;
Character is built in a lifetime.
• Your reputation is learned in an hour;
your character does not come to light for
a year.
• A single newspaper report gives your
reputation; a life of toil gives you your
character.
7. • Reputation makes you rich or makes you
poor; Character makes you happy or
makes you miserable.
• Reputation is what men say about you on
your tombstone; Character is what GOD
say about you before HIS throne.
• Your reputation is what men think you
are. Your character is what God knows
you to be.

and love which is in Christ Jesus. That
good thing which was committed unto
you keep by the Holy Ghost which
dwells in us.
