Character is much easier kept than recovered.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is easier to maintain good character and moral values than it is to regain them once they have been lost or compromised. It implies that once a person's character has been tarnished or damaged, it becomes a challenging and arduous process to repair or rebuild it. Therefore, it implies the importance of being mindful of one's actions and choices, knowing that it is more difficult to regain a positive reputation and integrity than it is to uphold them in the first place.
