That nation is worthless which does not joyfully stake everything on her honor.

  By heaven methinks it were an easy leap
  To pluck bright honor from the pale-fac’d moon.

That merit which gives greatness and renown diffuses its influence to a wide compass, but acts weakly on every single breast.

  Speak no more of his renown,
  Lay your earthly fancies down,
  And in the vast cathedral leave him,
  God accept him, Christ receive him.

The young warrior did not fly; but met death as he went forward in his strength.  Happy are they who dies in youth, when their renown is heard!

  The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

Glory long has made the sages smile; ’tis something, nothing, words, illusion, wind.

  Not once or twice in our rough island-story
  The path of duty was the way to glory.

He was a charming fellow, clever, urbane, free-handed, with all that fortunate quality in his appearance which is known as distinction.

  I see my reputation is at stake
  My fame is shrewdly gor’d.

CASSIO. Reputation, reputation, reputation! O!  I have lost my reputation.  I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial.  My reputation, Iago, my reputation!  IAGO.  As I am an honest man, I thought you had received some bodily wound.

You have a good repute for gentleness and wisdom. Celebrity sells dearly what we think she gives.

   Kings climb to eminence
   Over men’s graves.

Notoriety is short-lived; fame is lasting.

Hatred, hate, animosity, ill-will, enmity, hostility, bitterness, malice, malevolence, malignity, rancor, resentment, dudgeon, grudge, spite.

The hatred we bear our enemies injures their happiness less than our own.

Hate is like fire; it makes even light rubbish deadly.

He generously forgot all feeling of animosity, and determined to go in person to his succor.

              That thereby he may gather
  The ground of your ill-will, and so remove it.

No place is so propitious to the formation either of close friendships or of deadly enmities as an Indiaman.

There need be no hostility between evolutionist and theologian.

Shall we be thus afflicted in his wreaks,
His fits, his frenzy, and his bitterness?

  Speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate,
  Nor set down aught in malice.

Every obstacle which partisan malevolence could create he has had to encounter.
