About this quote

This saying reflects a timeless truth about human nature and communication. While a good reputation or positive achievement will eventually gain recognition, gossip and negative news spread with remarkable speed. It serves as a gentle reminder to guard one's conduct, as a single misstep often travels much further and lasts longer in public memory than years of quiet good work.

This is a traditional Croatian proverb recorded across regional oral traditions and folklore collections. As with most folk sayings, its exact origin and author are unknown, but variants of this sentiment exist throughout South Slavic culture.

People often hang this print in a hallway or home office as a thoughtful reminder about reputation and communication.
