Honesty is the best policy. If I lose mine honor, I lose myself.

Honesty in politics is the result of strength, hypocrisy is the result of weakness.

I hold the maxim no less applicable to public than to private affairs, that honesty is always the best policy.

We must regain the conviction that we need one another, that we have a shared responsibility for others and the world, and that being good and decent are worth it. We have had enough of immorality and the mockery of ethics, goodness, faith and honesty. It is time to acknowledge that light-hearted superficiality has done us no good.

I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.

Compliments win friends, honesty loses them.
