He who is honest in his dealings simply because of the social prestige and position it secures will never develop his higher nature, but will always live along the lower lines.

He who stands aloof runs the risk of believing himself better than others and misusing his critique of society as an ideology for his private interest.
Man is a being of a mixed nature; and, as there is no integrity without its flaws, so is there no man so knavish but that in some things he may be trusted.
He who believes is strong; he who doubts is weak. Strong convictions precede great actions.
Honesty is the best policy; but he who is governed by that maxim is not an honest man.
He that always gives way to others will end in having no principles of his own.
He will easily be content and at peace, whose conscience is pure.
To many a man, and sometimes to a youth, there comes the opportunity to choose between honorable competence and tainted wealth. The young man who starts out to be poor and honorable, holds in his hand one of the strongest elements of success.
He who closes his ears to the views of others shows little confidence in the integrity of his own views.
He who has faith has... an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well - even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.
He that fails in his endeavors after wealth or power will not long retain either honesty or courage.
