A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favor rather than silver and gold.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 22:1 Go To Proverbs 22
George Leo Haydock

Good. Hebrew, "a name "or reputation. (Haydock)
It is preferable to riches, but not to be compared with virtue, which is the only solid good; and even to be placed above riches, it must be well grounded. (Calmet)
Favour with all. (Haydock)
