I have much to say why my reputation should be rescued from the load of false accusation and calumny which has been heaped upon it.

You get a reputation for stability if you are stable for years.

One can survive everything, nowadays, except death, and live down everything except a good reputation.

Time, which alone makes the reputation of men, ends by making their defects respectable.

The easiest way to get a reputation is to go outside the fold, shout around for a few years as a violent atheist or a dangerous radical, and then crawl back to the shelter.
