“A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches”

The quote means that people may chose you for the good person you are than money.You couild be more valuabkle because of the good personality you have. All the ctr you do may be worth it in  the future. You're a good person because people could tell by your name. They will b chosen other than riches because those people may be rich but they do ctr all the time. One example is if you are the class clown in a class you are seen as a ctr. When people are going to have to chose between you and a ctr person they will choose the ctr person because they know you by your name already. Another example is people already know you're the bad person they know not to get close to you. When they hear your name they're not even gonna want to talk to you because you're a bad influence. It's better to be ctr person because everything is easier and everyone will love you for who you are.
