About This Quote
This quote is about the importance of preserving your reputation. Sometimes, though, reputation can be tarnished by actions that are not even your fault. For example, if you are in a group of friends who have been known to lie to one another, you may be in for a world of trouble. You must remember that even the most honorable of people can sometimes do wrong.
Just because they are your friend doesn’t mean that they always have your best interests in mind. So remember, even the finest sword plunged into salt water will eventually rust.
