Best Quotes about Honesty
Oh for someone with a heart, head and hand. Whatever they call them, what do I care, aristocrat, democrat, autocrat, just be it one that can rule and dare not lie.

Gouthey, A. P.
No man is so exquisitely honest or upright in living, but that ten times in his life he might not lawfully be hanged.

Blum, Leon

Cromwell, Oliver
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
If honesty did not exist, we ought to invent it as the best means of getting rich.
Mirabeau, Gabriel Riqueti
Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud.
Sophocles
Act in earnest and you will become earnest in all you do.
James, William
When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate now knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
Nouwen, Henri
Be prepared and be honest.
Wooden, John
Do not do what you would undo if caught.
Arendt, Leah
Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.
Freud, Sigmund
Nothing resembles an honest man more than a cheat.
Proverb, French
Be true to your own act and congratulate yourself if you have done something strange and extravagant to break the monotony of a decorous age.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Our lives improve only when we take chances - and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves.
Walter Anderson
Honesty is the best policy -- when there is money in it.
Twain, Mark
Honesty is the most single most important factor having a direct bearing on the final success of an individual, corporation, or product.
Mcmahon, Ed
Honesty is the rarest wealth anyone can possess, and yet all the honesty in the world ain't lawful tender for a loaf of bread.
Billings, Josh
Without adversity a person hardly knows whether they are honest or not.
Fielding, Henry
Prefer a loss to dishonest gain; the one brings pain at the moment, the other for all time.
Chilo
The elegance of honesty needs no adornment.
Browne, Merry
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
There is one way to find out if a man is honest; ask him! If he says yes you know he's crooked.
Marx, Groucho
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

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.
Some persons are likable in spite of their unswerving integrity.
Marquis, Don

Hill, Napoleon
An honest man can feel no pleasure in the exercise of power over his fellow citizens.
Thomas Jefferson
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.
