A good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
is the immediate jewel of their souls.
Who steals my purse steals trash: 'tis something, nothing;
twas mine, tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
but he that filches from me my good name
robs me of that which not enriches him
and makes me poor indeed.
(WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE - Othello - the Moor of Venice)
