Weep for me, whoever has charity, truth and justice! I did not come on this voyage for gain, honor or wealth, that is certain; for then the hope of all such things was dead. I came to Your Highnesses with honest purpose and sincere zeal; and I do not lie. I humbly beseech Your Highnesses that, if it please God to remove me hence, you will help me to go to Rome and on other pilgrimages.
For truth there is no deadline.
I think it's almost immoral to keep on with a marriage that's really bad. It just gets more and more rotten and vindictive and everybody gets more and more hurt. There's not enough honesty about marriage, I think. I wish more people would face the truth about their marital situations.
The exact contrary of what is generally believed is often the truth.
Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.
As a rule, we go about with masks, we go about looking honest, and we are able to conceal ourselves all through the day.
It is annoying to be honest to no purpose.
Who lies for you will lie against you.
To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.
Lying damages others. Lying subtly permits us to destroy ourselves as we are caught in the snare and shatter our own self-image and credibility. Freedom from deceit and lying improves self and gives all of us peace of mind.
Honor is honesty to what is, not blind duty to what you wish to be.
The catch-all phrase "the war on terrorism", in all honesty, has no more meaning than if one wants to wage a war against "criminal gangsterism". Terrorism is a tactic. You can't have a war against a tactic. It's deliberately vague and non-definable in order to justify and permit perpetual war anywhere and under any circumstance.
Every man should make up his mind that if he expects to succeed, he must give an honest return for the other man's dollar.
I feel you see every crack and bruise with black and white [pictiures] and color distracts usually from the honesty.
Being traditional is a choice for me. South Indian families bring up their children with a sense of freedom, self-respect and self-value. We do whatever we have to with earnestness and honesty, including being uninhibited. Yet we hold onto our roots.
Honesty is the greatest aphrodisiac.
The pursuit of truth will set you free; even if you never catch up with it.
You will find that the truth is often unpopular and the contest between agreeable fancy and disagreeable fact is unequal. For, in the vernacular, we Americans are suckers for good news.
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 man who won't cheat, then you know he never will.
There's a place for all types of country music as long as there is honesty and realness and a real human experience for the fans.
