Best Quotes about Honesty
No such thing as a man willing to be honest --that would be like a blind man willing to see.
Fitzgerald, F. Scott
Understand this law and you will then know, beyond room for the slightest doubt, that you are constantly punishing yourself for every wrong you commit and rewarding yourself for every act of constructive conduct in which you indulge.
Hill, Napoleon
Honest men are the soft easy cushions on which knaves repose and fatten.
Otway, Thomas
It is annoying to be honest to no purpose.
Ovid
Where is there dignity unless there is honesty?
Cicero
People may or may not say what they mean... but they always say something designed to get what they want.
Mamet, David
You can never lose anything that really belongs to you, and you can't keep that which belongs to someone else.
Cayce, Edgar
Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.
Freud, Sigmund
Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit.
Allen, James
You can't make wrong work.
Waterhouse, Gerald
Maybe coming clean is the ultimate selfish act. A way to absolve yourself by hurting someone who doesn't deserve to be hurt.
Cindy Chupack

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
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
When something that honest is said it usually needs a few minutes of silence to dissipate.
Pamela Ribon
Dishonest people conceal their faults from themselves as well as others, honest people know and confess them.
Bovee, Christian Nevell
Honesty is the cornerstone of all success, without which confidence and ability to perform shall cease to exist.
Ash, Mary Kay
Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well.
Samuel Butler
Morality may consist solely in the courage of making a choice.
Blum, Leon
Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defense.
Landesberg, Steve
Some persons are likable in spite of their unswerving integrity.
Marquis, Don
The elegance of honesty needs no adornment.
Browne, Merry
Honesty is the best policy. If I lose mine honor, I lose myself.
Shakespeare, William
It is impossible for a man to be cheated by anyone but himself.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Nothing resembles an honest man more than a cheat.
Proverb, French
When we are not honest, we are cut off from a significant resource of ourselves, a vital dimension that is necessary for unity and wholeness.
Moustakas, Clark
There is something greater than wealth, grander even than fame -- manhood, character, stand for success... nothing else really does.
Marden, Orison Swett
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
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 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.
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
The true measure of life is not length, but honesty.
Lyly, John
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.
Tennyson, Lord Alfred
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.
No one is wise or safe, but they that are honest.
Raleigh, Sir Walter
It is a fine thing to be honest, but it is also very important to be right.
Churchill, Winston
A few honest men are better than numbers.
Cromwell, Oliver
From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.
Kant, Immanuel
Honest hearts produce honest actions.
Young, Brigham
I have found that being honest is the best technique I can use. Right up front, tell people what you're trying to accomplish and what you're willing to sacrifice to accomplish it.
Iacocca, Lee
When you accept yourself completely you do not have to maintain a phony front, drive yourself to achieve or feel insecure if people tune-in to you and what you are doing.
Keyes Jr., Ken
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.
Son, always tell the truth. Then you'll never have to remember what you said the last time.
Sam Rayburn
Without adversity a person hardly knows whether they are honest or not.
Fielding, Henry
If honesty did not exist, we ought to invent it as the best means of getting rich.
Mirabeau, Gabriel Riqueti
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
Be prepared and be honest.
Wooden, John
Do not do what you would undo if caught.
Arendt, Leah
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
