“If you can dispense with reputation, then you are free from care. Reputation is only a visitor, but reality is here to stay.”
― Liezi, Lieh-tzu: A Taoist Guide to Practical Living

“I think that it [the Church] stands for everything most hostile to the mental emancipation and stimulation of mankind. It is the completest, most highly organized system of prejudices and antagonisms in existence. Everywhere in the world there are ignorance and prejudice, but the greatest complex of these, with the most extensive prestige and the most intimate entanglement with traditional institutions, is the Roman Catholic Church. It presents many faces towards the world, but everywhere it is systematic in its fight against freedom.”
― H.G. Wells, Crux Ansata: An Indictment of the Roman Catholic Church

“My friends, life is so serious that if you are not aware of whom you are, your "youniversity" will be prestigious but unknown!”
― Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

“Unfortunately, here as elsewhere on this touching planet, imitation is the watchword and prestige the highest ambition.”
― J.D. Salinger, Hapworth 16, 1924

“33. Satan will attempt to offer you whatever you hunger for, whether it be money, power, sex, or prestige. But Jesus said, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousnessâ€� (Matthew 5:6).”
― James C. Dobson, Life on the Edge: The Next Generation's Guide to a Meaningful Future

“Consider the situation: Money that was provided because of social networks rather than need; a project designed for prestige rather than to be used; a lack of monitoring and accountability; and an architect appointed for show by somebody with little interest in the quality of the work. The outcome is hardly surprising: a project that should never have been built was built, and built badly.”
― Tim Harford, The Undercover Economist

“I do not believe that the present flowering of science is due in the least to a real appreciation of the beauty and intellectual discipline of the subject. It is due simply to the fact that power, wealth and prestige can only be obtained by the correct application of science.”
― Derek Barton

“Men’s economic privilege, their social value, the prestige of marriage, the usefulness of masculine support—all these encourage women to ardently want to please men. They are on the whole still in a state of serfdom. It follows that woman knows and chooses herself not as she exists for herself but as man defines her. She thus has to be described first as men dream of her since her being-for-men is one of the essential factors of her concrete condition.”
― Simone de Beauvoir

“Just as hunters will mount the heads of the kills, white people need to let people know that they have made their way to hundreds or even thousands of books. After all, what's the point of reading a book if people don't know you've read it. It's like a tree falling in the forest.”
― Christian Lander, Stuff White People Like: A Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions

“Wear Bow World Bow”
― Dr. Syed Abbas Muttaqui

“Unfortunately, most followers do not know that they can also become leaders because to them, leadership is confined to an "assumed" category of people who have authority or social prestige as their background pillows.”
― Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

“The newly-minted captain admits the irony between the gold on his shoulders and the lack of gold in his pockets.”
― Patrick O'Brian, Master & Commander

“Your reputation has no duplicate. You are one till the end of time. Once it is damaged, a fresh personality cannot spring from the old one.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson, The Book of Maxims, Poems and Anecdotes

“Usimwabudu mungu mwingine isipokuwa Mungu. Usimwabudu mtu, mnyama, sanamu, samaki, au usiziabudu fikira zako kichwani. Usiitumikie kazi, mali, mila, anasa, siasa, wala usiyatumikie mamlaka au usiutumikie umaarufu au ufahari, kuliko Mungu. Ukiithamini kazi, mali, mila, anasa, siasa au ukiyathamini mamlaka, au ukiuthamini umaarufu au ufahari zaidi kuliko Mungu, au ukiyapa majukumu yako muda mwingi zaidi kuliko Mungu umeabudu miungu; wakati ulipaswa kumwabudu Mungu peke yake. Usiwe na vipaumbele vingine vyovyote vile katika maisha yako zaidi ya Mungu, kwani Mungu ni Mungu mwenye wivu.”
― Enock Maregesi

“Who the fuck cares where you went to school or where you work? The question is: Is your everyday experience good, healthy, beautiful? Because I have to tell you, while it might be cool to work for a company like Google, Apple, or The New Yorker, if your job is stupid, stressful and your boss is an asshole, there is nothing good or prestigious about that. While it might seem right to go to a school like Berkeley, if classes are overcrowded and students are nervous, anxious, religious zealots from Orange County, are you sure you want to go there? What’s good about that? To believe in prestige is to privilege abstract, collective impression over palpable, daily experience. To which I say: fuck prestige. Do what serves your everyday vitality.”
― Daniel Coffeen

“I find it extremely frustrating that those who strive for prestige get a free pass on the bad behavior it often takes to get there.”
― Charles F. Glassman, Brain Drain - The Breakthrough That Will Change Your Life

“If I keep pushing myself, I’ll finally be somebody. I’ll finally matter. I’ll finally arrive.â€� Nonsense. You won’t be satisfied. The only thing worse than failing to realize any of your dreams, is seeing them all come true. You were meant for something more. Even if you could be known the world over, what does it matter if you have no time to be known by God?”
― Kevin DeYoung, Crazy Busy: A (Mercifully) Short Book about a (Really) Big Problem
