Quote★★★★
Who steals my purse steals trash; ’tis
something, nothing;
“Twas mine, ’tis his, and has been slave
to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good
name
Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed.
— Shakespeare
Also attributed to: William Shakespeare
The point
Stolen money is a trifling loss, but stealing someone's good name robs them of something truly valuable while enriching no one.
