I once had the confidence of the people ... and if I have since done any thing, either by design or misadventure, which if known, would subject me to a forfeiture of that confidence, he that knows of that thing, and conceals it, is a traitor to his country's interest.

No legacy is so rich as honesty.

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

Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway.

All of my flaws and all the things that make me up are part of who I am. It's about honesty and everything that encompasses: fragility, neuroses, getting it wrong. I stand for being an ambassador of that kind of honesty.

Compliments win friends, honesty loses them.
