"Reputation is sometimes as wide as the horizon, when character is but the point of a needle. Character is what one really is; reputation is what others believe him to be." - Henry Ward Beecher

Thomas Jefferson :

“On every question of construction of the Constitution, let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.”
