Do not do what you would undo if caught.
Arendt, Leah

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

You can never lose anything that really belongs to you, and you can't keep that which belongs to someone else.
Cayce, Edgar

Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

Nothing resembles an honest man more than a cheat.
Proverb, French

Buscaglia, Leo

It is annoying to be honest to no purpose.
Ovid

19.
Honesty is the most single most important factor having a direct bearing on the final success of an individual, corporation, or product.
Mcmahon, Ed

20.
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

21.
Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.
Samuel Butler

22.
Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.
Freud, Sigmund

23.
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

24.
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.

25.
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

26.
Honesty is for the most par less profitable than dishonesty.
Plato

27.
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

28.
Where is there dignity unless there is honesty?
Cicero

29.
Dare to be honest and fear no labor.
Burns, Robert

30.
Dishonest people conceal their faults from themselves as well as others, honest people know and confess them.
Bovee, Christian Nevell

31.
Son, always tell the truth. Then you'll never have to remember what you said the last time.
Sam Rayburn

32.
Honesty is the best image.
Tom Wilson

33.
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.

34.
It is a fine thing to be honest, but it is also very important to be right.
Churchill, Winston

35.
Honest men are the soft easy cushions on which knaves repose and fatten.
Otway, Thomas
