The banality of good is a concept of Christian ethics where a little evil outweighs much good. Ecclesiasties 9:18-10:1 Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good. Dead flies make the perfumer's ointment give off a stench; so a little folly outweighs wisdom and honor.

Helps not the primal fault
It rains into the sea
