Quote

With integrity, you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide. With integrity, you will do the right thing, so you will have no guilt.

Even if we encounter some shameful events in the past, we shouldn't avoid or hide them.

Subtlety may deceive you; integrity never will.

You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.

Seldom ever was any knowledge given to keep, but to impart; the grace of this rich jewel is lost in concealment.

It's not about what you tell the reader, it's about what you conceal.

There is no shame like poor shame. It can make you warm and charming, bitter and resentful, all at once.

Dramatically it's always more interesting to conceal rather than reveal things.

Never be ashamed! There's some who'll hold it against you, but they're not worth bothering with.
