a good name is better than money

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

Proverbs 22:1

 This quote states that a being a good person is better than having a lot of money. If you have a good name then when people think of you they will think of a good person. If you were to choose to have money or to be a good person the better choice would be having a good name because good things will come to you. If you have money maybe it'll give you happiness for a little while because you could buy whatever you want but will it make you happy in the future? If you choose to have a good name it will give you long term happiness because you chose to be a good person.
