"Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it and the tree is the real thing" Abraham Lincoln

Narration: It defines that the character of the person defines who he is and what he is. But his reputation might vary based on the view point. Just like the shadow whose length increases or decreases based on the sun’s or a light’s position on the person, the reputation cannot be always the same. It fluctuates over period of time. But the character of the person remains constant.
