I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost every other friend on Earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.
Abraham Lincoln
I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain (what I consider the most enviable of all titles) the character of an "Honest Man."
George Washington
Never esteem anything as of advantage to thee that shall make thee break thy word or lose thy self-respect.
Marcus Aurelius
That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
William Boetcker
Where is there dignity unless there is honesty?
Cicero
Courage combined with integrity is the foundation of character.
Brian Tracy
You are already of consequence in the world if you are known as a man of strict integrity. If you can be absolutely relied upon; if when you say a thing is so, it is so; if when you say you will do a thing, you do it; then you carry with you a passport to universal esteem.
Grenville Kleiser
Be more concerned about what's right rather than who's right.
Brian Tracy
For thus I estimate the qualities of the mind: 1, good humor; 2, integrity; 3, industry; 4, science. The preference of the first to the second quality may not at first be acquiesced in; but certainly we had all rather associate with a good-humored, light-principled man, than with an ill-tempered rigorist in morality.
Thomas Jefferson
