honesty is a “dynamo” that generates the power to lead us to victory. it inspires confidence in others as well as in ourselves. it strengthens our mind, disciplines our faculties, and gives us independence of thought and personality.

　　honesty should be practical in small matters as in big ones. never make such an excuse as “a little dishonesty is only a small thing.” if you are dishonest in small matters, you will be dishonest in large matters, too, and in the end you will be an entirely dishonest man.
