"A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches" 


This quote means that having a good name is better than having lots of money, and all the fancy stuff. Having a good name is worth more than other stuff, cause that's how people discriminate you. When people hear about you its best that it is good things rather than bad. Always keep a good name for yourself because you wouldn't want people talking bad about you. All those things you do in life can affect you later on, always think twice about what you do.
