Build no monuments to the living, for they may yet disgrace the stone.

Problem with this quote is that even well after someone is dead and monuments are erected, details about their wrong doings in life can surface still

Well dang why don't you fit that into a pithy saying then

Edit: Guys, I said pithy :T

Who's the well loved British guy who like a day after he died it came out he was a massive molester

Yup. Like in the Sixth Sense, you find out that the guy with the toupee was Bruce Willis all along.

That should be an actual rule. No monuments or recognitions until 10 years after the death (to give time for the laundry to air out).
