No man will ever bring out of the presidency the reputation

Summary

This quote suggests that the reputation a man has before becoming president will not be preserved once he leaves the office.

This could be due to the numerous responsibilities, tough decisions, and controversies associated with the position. Thus, the quote highlights the difficulty of maintaining a positive image and reputation during and after one's presidency.
