“Politicians are a set of men who have interests aside from the interests of the people and who, to say the most of them, are, taken as a mass, at least one long step removed from honest men”
Abraham Lincoln
“Dishonest people conceal their faults from themselves as well as others, honest people know and confess them.”
Christian Nevell Bovee
“Good people are not unlucky, they're smart, but their good faith makes it easy for predator egoists to manipulate them and use them to thrive.”
Assya Moussaid
“There are men so incorrigibly lazy that no inducement that you can offer will tempt them to work; so eaten up by vice that virtue is abhorrent to them, and so inveterately dishonest that theft is to them a master passion. When a human being has reached that stage, there is only one course that can be rationally pursued. Sorrowfully, but remorselessly, it must be recognized that he has become lunatic, morally demented, incapable of self-government, and that upon him, therefore, must be passed the sentence of permanent seclusion from a world in which he is not fit to be at large.”
William Booth
“To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves. Nothing is often a good thing to say, and always a clever thing to say.”
Will Durant
“Yes, even I am dishonest. Not in many ways, but in some. Forty-one I think it is.”
Mark Twain
