Making a Good Man

It takes many virtues for a good man to make 

But only one vice his reputation to break!

I never said that, my dearest friend, Tom. On the contrary, I say not to give room to vice. Thank you for your gracious comment. God bless you!

Thank you, my dearest friend, Anne-Lise. Your example is striking but here doesn't apply. The man in question here builds on the most solid ground: Virtue! Hugs and blessings!
