integrity |
Nothing
more completely baffles one who is full of tricks and
duplicity than straight forward and simple integrity in
another.
Charles
Caleb Colton |
|
| |
Perhaps losing integrity with yourself is the
greatest stress of all,
far more hurtful to us than
competition, time pressure, or lack of
respect. Our
vitality is rooted in our integrity. When we do not
live
in one piece, our life force becomes divided.
Becoming separated
from our authentic values may weaken us.
Rachel Naomi Remen

Keep true, never be ashamed of doing right;
decide on what you think is right and stick to it.
George Eliot |
| |
|
In
all things preserve integrity;
and the consciousness of your
own uprightness
will alleviate
the toil of business,
soften the
hardness of ill-success and
disappointments, and
give you
a humble confidence before
God, when the
ingratitude of
people, or the iniquity of the
times may rob
you
of other rewards.

Integrity simply means not violating one's
own identity.
Erich Fromm |
| |
|
|
| |
If humanity does not opt for integrity we are
through completely.
It is absolutely touch and go. Each one
of us could make the difference.
Buckminster Fuller |
| |
|
Integrity is what we do, what we say, and
what we say we do.
Don Galer |
| |
|
Integrity without knowledge is weak and
useless,
and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and
dreadful.
Samuel Johnson |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The integrity of men is to be measured by
their conduct,
not by their professions.
Junius |
|
If you believe in unlimited quality and act
in all your business dealings with total integrity, the rest
will take care of itself.
Frank Perdue |
|
A life lived with integrity--even if it
lacks the trappings of fame and fortune--is a shining star
in whose light others may follow in the years to come.
Denis Waitley |
|
Integrity is praised and then left out in the
cold.
Junius |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Integrity is the first step to true
greatness. People love to praise,
but are slow to practice it. To maintain it in high places costs
self-denial; in all
places it is liable to opposition, but its end is
glorious,
and the universe will yet do it homage.
Charles Simmons |

|
The glue that holds all relationships
together--including the relationship
between the leader
and the led--is trust, and trust is based on integrity.
Brian Tracy |
| |
A person is not given integrity. It results
from the
relentless pursuit of honesty at all times.
unattributed |
| |
|
Let
us be true: integrity is the highest maxim of art and
of life,
the secret of eloquence and virtue, and of all moral
authority.
Henri
Frederic Amiel |

You
cannot drive straight on a twisting lane.
Russian
proverb |
A
little integrity is better
than any career.
Ralph
Waldo Emerson |
|
| |
Nothing
so completely baffles one who is full of trick and
duplicity,
than straightforward and simple integrity in another.

Living
with integrity means:
- Not
settling for less than what you know you deserve
in your relationships.
- Asking
for what you want and need from others.
- Speaking
your truth, even though it might create conflict
or tension.
- Behaving
in ways that are in harmony with your personal
values.
- Making
choices based on what you believe, and not what
others believe.

Integrity
is not something that grownups have and adolescents
can aspire to. Integrity is something that all
of us,
at all ages, are constantly striving for.

Rabbi
Safra was saying his morning prayers when a customer came
to buy his donkey, so he did not respond when the buyer made
his offer. Taking the rabbi's silence as a rejection,
the man upped
the price. When the rabbi remained silent, the buyer
substantially
added to his bid. But Rabbi Safra remained silent in
prayer.
After
the rabbi finished, he said to the buyer, "I had
decided
to sell you my donkey at the first price you spoke of, but I
did not
want to interrupt my prayers to talk to you. So, you
may have
the donkey at that price--any other offers I will not
accept."
Aha
of Shabha |
| |
|
Right is right, even if everyone is against
it;
and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.
William Penn |
| |
Integrity
is not a conditional word. It doesn’t blow in the
wind
or change with the weather. It is your inner image of
yourself,
and if you look in there and see a person who won’t cheat,
then you know you never will.
John MacDonald |

|
If
everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart
were just, frank, and kindly, the other virtues would be
well-nigh useless, since their chief purpose is to make us
bear with patience the injustice of our fellows.
