Best Quotes about Honesty
Prefer a loss to dishonest gain; the one brings pain at the moment, the other for all time.
Chilo
Honesty is as rare as a man without self-pity.
Benet, Stephen Vincent
To many a man, and sometimes to a youth, there comes the opportunity to choose between honorable competence and tainted wealth. The young man who starts out to be poor and honorable, holds in his hand one of the strongest elements of success.
Marden, Orison Swett
Where is there dignity unless there is honesty?
Cicero
Successful people have cultivated the habit of never denying to themselves their true feelings and attitudes. They have no need for pretenses.
Fink, David Harold
How desperately difficult it is to be honest with oneself. It is much easier to be honest with other people.
Benson, Edward Frederic
Look a man in the eye and say what you really think, don't just smile at him and say what you're supposed to think.
Dishonest people conceal their faults from themselves as well as others, honest people know and confess them.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
They're only truly great who are truly good.
Chapman, George
Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.
Samuel Butler
I would give no thought of what the world might say of me, if I could only transmit to posterity the reputation of an honest man.
Houston, Sam
An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens.
Thomas Jefferson
Honesty pays, but it doesn't seem to pay enough to suit some people.
Kin Hubbard
The day is for honest men, the night for thieves.
Euripides
No such thing as a man willing to be honest --that would be like a blind man willing to see.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott
It is annoying to be honest to no purpose.
Ovid
No man, for any considerable period, can wear one face to himself, and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be true.
Hawthorne, Nathaniel
You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another. [Leviticus 19:11]
Bible
The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position.
Buscaglia, Leo
Honesty is the most single most important factor having a direct bearing on the final success of an individual, corporation, or product.
Mcmahon, Ed
Act in earnest and you will become earnest in all you do.
James, William
Honesty is the best policy -- when there is money in it.
Twain, Mark
I grew up in New York, and I have that in me, that be-honest-at-all-costs, don't b.s. me attitude. I say, If you've got something to say about me, say it to my face. And then we'll either talk about it or fight about it.
Robbins, Tim
Dare to be honest and fear no labor.
Burns, Robert
Everybody has a little bit of Watergate in him.
Graham, Billy
Morality may consist solely in the courage of making a choice.
Blum, Leon
If we put the emphasis upon the right things, if we live the life that is worth while and then fail, we will survive all disasters, we will out-live all misfortune. We should be so well balanced and symmetrical, that nothing which could ever happen could throw us off our center, so that no matter what misfortune should overtake us, there would still be a whole magnificent man or woman left after being stripped of everything else.
Marden, Orison Swett
If honesty did not exist, we ought to invent it as the best means of getting rich.
Mirabeau, Gabriel Riqueti
Honesty is the best image.
Tom Wilson
A thread will tie an honest man better than a chain a rogue.
Proverb, Scottish
Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure there is one less rascal in the world.
Carlyle, Thomas
An honest man is the best thing on the sod; but a mother and her babe is the noblest work of God.
If you follow only one rule, let it be this one: Be yourself. The really strong boy-girl relationships are based on what people really are, not on what they pretend to be.
People who are brutally honest get more satisfaction out of the brutality than out of the honesty.
Needham, Richard J.
Honesty is for the most par less profitable than dishonesty.
Plato
On this mounting the scaffold to be beheaded: I pray you Master Lieutenant, see me safely up, and for my coming down, let me shift for myself. To the executioner: Pick up thy spirits, Man, and be not afraid to do thy office; my neck is very short; take heed, therefore thou strike not awry, for saving of thy honesty.
Honesty is the best policy. If I lose mine honor, I lose myself.
Shakespeare, William
You've got to be honest; if you can fake that, you've got it made.
Burns, George
When in doubt, tell the truth.
Mark Twain
Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit.
Allen, James
There are two great forces in this world -- good and evil; and no man is worth his salt unless he has lost and won battle for a principle.
Gouthey, A. P.
Be prepared and be honest.
Wooden, John
I thank God I am as honest as any man living that is an old man and no honester than I.
William Shakespeare
The best measure of a man's honesty isn't his income tax return. It's the zero adjust on his bathroom scale.
Arthur C. Clarke
You can't make wrong work.
Waterhouse, Gerald
There is no twilight zone of honesty in business. A thing is right or it's wrong. It's black or it's white.
Dodge, John F.
The elegance of honesty needs no adornment.
Browne, Merry
Do not do what you would undo if caught.
Arendt, Leah
There is no right way to do something wrong.
Each time you are honest and conduct yourself with honesty, a success force will drive you toward greater success. Each time you lie, even with a little white lie, there are strong forces pushing you toward failure.
Sugarman, Joseph
