If I were less than honest as a critic, I think people would spot that right away, and it would destroy my credibility.

That's what I'd like to think that my reputation is - being honest.

I'd make a comment at a meeting and nobody would even acknowledge me. Then some man would say the same thing and they'd all nod.

I try to be as honest about what I see and to speak rather than be silent, especially if it means I can save lives, or serve humanity.

But I think it would be irresponsible for me not to say what I really believe in my heart to be true - that there are some serious inequities that we face as women and that we can work to address these inequities.

Would you want to do business with a person who was 99% honest?

An honest man speaks the truth, though it may give offence; a vain man, in order that it may.

All men profess honesty as long as they can. To believe all men honest would be folly. To believe none so is something worse.

Without adversity a person hardly knows whether they are honest or not.
