“You don't have to preach honesty to men with creative purpose. Let a human being throw the energies of his soul into the making of something, and the instinct of workmanship will take care of his honesty.”
Walter Lippmann
“True friends stab you in the front.”
Oscar Wilde
“The true measure of life is not length, but honesty.”
John Lyly
“It always seemed strange to me that the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, aquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and selfinterest are the traits of sucess. And while men admire the quality of the first, they love the produce of the second.”
John Steinbeck
“To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“There's no trust, no faith, no honesty in men; all perjured, all forsworn, all naught, all dissemblers.”
William Shakespeare
“I keep six honest serving men: They taught me all I knew: Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who”
Rudyard Kipling
