Would you want to do business with a person who was 99% honest?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Honesty is for the most part less profitable than dishonesty.
I'm probably the most honest person you'll ever meet - to a fault, like, I-will-hurt-your-feelings honest. I'm sure if I lied about anything, it would have been silly, but I haven't retained that information.
I have always been an honest trader. I come from a school of traders where there was honour in the deal. No contracts, just a handshake and that's it, done. That's the way I prefer to do business but it's not always possible these days, sadly.
I'd much rather have the honesty than not. Because if you will say what's on your mind and get it off your chest, then the sooner I can prove you wrong!
I believe fundamental honesty is the keystone of business.
I'm a really honest person.
Without adversity a person hardly knows whether they are honest or not.
The only problems I've ever had with being honest is telling people how I feel about them or saying how I feel about other people.
I think there are many honest businessmen.
Unless you can fake sincerity, you'll get nowhere in this business.
