A name is a kind if face whereby one is known.
Fuller.
With the vulgar and the learned, names have great weight; the wise use a writ of inquiry into their legitimacy when they are advanced as authorities.
Zimmermann.
Who hath not owned, with rapture smitten frame, the power of grace, the magic of a name.
Cowper.
Favor or disappointment has been often conceded, as the name of the claimant has affected us; and the accidental affinity or coincidence of a name, connected with ridicule or hatred, with pleasure or disgust, has operated like magic.
Disraeil.
“Names” says an old maxim, “are things”. They certainly are influences, Impressions are left and opinions are shaped by them. Virtue is disparaged, and vice countenanced, and so encouraged by them. The mean and selfish talk of their prudence and economy; the vain and proud prate about self-respect; obstinacy is called firmness, and dissipation the enjoyment of life; seriousness is ridiculed as cant, and strict morality and integrity, as needless scrupulosity, and so men deceive themselves, and society is led to look leniently, or with indifference, on what ought to be sharply condemned.
Tryon Edwards.
Some to the fascination of a name surrender judgment hoodwinked.
Cowper.
What is in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet.
Shakespeare.
Some men do as much begrudge others a good name, as they want one themselves; and perhaps that is the reason of it.
Penn.
A person with a bad name is already half-hanged.
Old Proverb.
One of the greatest artifices the devil uses to engage men in vice and debauchery, is to fasten names of contempt on certain virtues, and thus fill weak souls with a foolish fear of passing for scrupulous, should they desire to put them in practice.
Pascal.
A virtuous name is the precious, only good, for which queens and peasants’ wives must contest together.
Schiller.
A man’s name is not like a mantle which merely hangs about him, and which one perchance may safely twitch and pull, but a perfectly fitting garment, which, like the skin, has grown over him, at which one cannot rake and scrape without injuring the man himself.
Goethe.
Good name, in man or woman, is the immediate jewel of their souls. Who steals my purse steals trash; but he that filches from me my good name, robs me of that which not enriches him, and makes me poor indeed.
Shakespeare.
The honors of a name “tis just to guard; they are a trust but lent us, which we take, and should, in reverence to the donor’s fame, with care transmit them down to other hands.
Shirley.
Great names debase, instead of raising those who know not how to use them.
Rochefoucauld.
A name truly good is the aroma from virtuous character; it is a spontaneous emanation from genuine excellence. Such a name is not only remembered on earthy, but it is written in heaven.
J.Hamilton.
A good name lost is seldom regained. When character is gone, all is gone, and one of the richest jewels of life is lost forever.
J.Haves.
No better heritage can a father bequeath to his children than a good name; nor is there in a family any richer heir loom than the memory of a noble ancestor.
J.Hamilton.
I have fallen in love with American names,
The sharp names that never get fat,
The snakeskin titles of mining claims,
The plumed war bonnet of Medicine Hat,
Tucson and Deadwood and Lost Mule Flat.
He left a name, at which the world grew pale,
To point a moral or adorn a tale.
My name is Legion; for we are many.
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.
