Never support two weaknesses at the same time. It's your combination sinners -- your lecherous liars and your miserly drunkards -- who dishonor the vices and bring them into bad repute.

Summary

This quote is a call to avoid indulging in multiple negative behaviors simultaneously. The speaker suggests that supporting two weaknesses, such as engaging in deceitful and promiscuous behavior, or being miserly while also being an excessive drinker, tarnishes the reputation of these vices. By combining multiple sins, individuals not only dishonor themselves but also bring these vices into disrepute. The underlying message is to avoid engaging in multiple negative behaviors simultaneously to maintain personal integrity and prevent the exacerbation of the negative connotations associated with these vices.
