“Ill repute is a good thing and much the same as pain.”

“Therefore, since the world has still
Much good, but much less good than ill,
And while the sun and moon endure
Luck’s a chance, but trouble’s sure
I’d face it as a wise man would,
And train for ill and not for good.”

“For the world is impure and envious of the able,
And eager to hide men's good and make much of their ill.”

“It is our duty never to speak ill of others, you know; least of all when we know that to do so will be the cause of much pain and trouble.”

“172. A good Reputation is a fair Estate.”

“Pain's not bad, it's good. It teaches you things. I understand that.”

“What call ye them or Goods or Ills, ill-goods, good-ills, a loss, a gain,
When realms arise and falls a roof; a world is won, a man is slain?”

“It is not the same thing to be good and to be kind.”

“A good reputation is more valuable than money.”
Honesta fama melior pecunia est.

“It is not always the same thing to be a good man and a good citizen.”
