This phrase states that when one is wealthy it gets to the best of them and they get full of themselves or they hide behind their wealth thinking its the best thing in the world. I feel this way because for example, you can have all the money and jewels in the world but if you don't have a companion, you'll still feel lonely. Or another example is when people put themselves on another level than others because of what they own. They won't associate with others because there not wealthy enough or good enough.
"Glass, china, and reputation are easily cracked and never well mended."
I feel like the author of this phrase meant that you can break a glass, glue it back together, but it will still have those cracks. Just like somebody's emotions or in this case, reputation, you can hurt someone, physically or mentally, but those hurtful things will leave a crack that even if "glued" will still be there.
