" A good name is rather to be chosen then great riches."

This quote means that a person that has no money is a better person that does have money. For example if your walking down the streets and you see someone that is asking for money and your that  one of the people that has money pass and don't give nothing to the poor person that is asking for money. Then a person that works but not earns the same as the other person  that work gives the poor man money. Some of the thing going in his head are that let me give him money for food or for cloth. The other person thoughts are why would I give him money he young and he could look for a job. It would be more bad if the person with money waste it in drugs etc and don't give nothing to the poor person.
