In my experience, honesty is the best policy. And being a friend to somebody is not always the best way to help them.
In the long run, I believe that honesty is definitely the best policy. One can get away by being dishonest for a short term, but ultimately, honesty is what pays.
Honesty is the best policy; the only way out is deeper in: a candid confrontation with existence is dizzying, liberating.
People like to see honest persons. So I certainly will advise many young people who want to participate in politics, honesty is the best policy.
Surely the President can agree with us, that theft from government is not good. I know it's bold. It's out on the edge. I know from a Chicago-Springfield background it's hard to fully grasp that honesty could be part of government.
It's very difficult to escape your background. You know, I don't think it's necessary to even try to escape it. More and more, I start to think that it's necessary to see exactly what it is that you inherited on both ends of the stick: your timidity, your courage, your self-deceit, and your honesty - and all the rest of it.
They envy the distinction I have won; let them therefore, envy my toils, my honesty, and the methods by which I gained it.
I admire honesty more than any other trait.
Acting is all about truth and honesty, and the sensitivity that's capable of transporting you.
The true measure of life is not length, but honesty.
I like to see honesty out of people. People who are trustworthy. I like to see people who are involved with The Lord.
I'm very true to the old punk ethics of honesty and truthfulness and integrity... and still be authentic.
