Charles Caleb Colton

Knavery is supple, and can bend, but honesty is firm and upright and yields not.

Charles Caleb Colton

Charles Caleb Colton

Honesty is not only the deepest policy, but the highest wisdom; since, however difficult it may be for integrity to get on, it is a thousand times more difficult for knavery to get off; and no error is more fatal than that of those who think that Virtue has no other reward because they have heard that she is her own.

Akira Kurosawa

Akira Kurosawa

Human beings are unable to be honest with themselves about themselves. They cannot talk about themselves without embellishing.

I think you just be honest. I think people respond to honesty.

Chogyam Trungpa

Facing yourself is a question of honesty rather than condemning yourself. Good or bad the idea is simply to face the facts. Just see the simple, straightforward truth about yourself without cutting yourself down.
