Corporate executives and business owners need to realize that there can be no compromise when it comes to ethics, and there are no easy shortcuts to success. Ethics need to be carefully sown into the fabric of their companies.

In day-to-day life, you have stimulus to behave unethically, but in the long term, it always pays off to be ethical.

Let me give you a definition of ethics: It is good to maintain and further life it is bad to damage and destroy life.

Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.

Ethics or simple honesty is the building blocks upon which our whole society is based, and business is a part of our society, and it's integral to the practice of being able to conduct business, that you have a set of honest standards.

We're coming down to an extremely unethical society. Very few colleges offer courses in ethics, and very few companies have a code of conduct or code of ethics.

There's strong data that, within companies, the No. 1 reason for ethical violations is the pressure to meet expectations, sometimes unrealistic expectations.

I think ethics is always there; it's not always a very thoughtful or reflective ethics.

Ethics is nothing else than reverence for life.

Ethics to me is very important.
