truth

Make yourself an honest person, and then
you may be sure there is one less rascal in the world.

Thomas Carlyle

There is no well-defined boundary between honesty and dishonesty.
The frontiers of one blend with the outside limits of the other, and
they who attempt to tread this dangerous ground may be
sometimes in one domain and sometimes in the other.

O. Henry

Honesty is the cornerstone of all success, without which
confidence and ability to perform shall cease to exist.

Mary Kay Ash

Integrity is telling myself the truth.
And honesty is telling the truth to other people.

Spencer Johnson

Robert E. Lee

Every act of dishonesty has at least two victims: the one we think of
as the victim, and the perpetrator as well.  Each little dishonesty makes
another little rotten spot somewhere in the perpetrator's psyche.

Noel Coward

Honest and courageous people have very little to say about either
their courage or their honesty. The sun has no need to boast
of his brightness, nor the moon of her effulgence.

 Hosea Ballou

The first step toward greatness is to be honest, says the proverb;
but the proverb fails to state the case strong enough.
Honesty is not only "the first step toward greatness,"--it is greatness itself.

Christian Nestell Bovee
