integrity

Whatever does not pretend at all has style enough.

Better to be a diamond in the rough, than a polished fake in denial.

People that blatantly lie, cheat, steal, or manipulate other people to become successful seriously lack any kind of integrity. It amazes me how some people hold their head up high and walk around like they__e all of that, knowing that they wouldn__ be where they are today or have what they have if it wasn__ for some kind of corruption on their part. You shouldn__ have to do any of those things to get ahead. I am greatness! I vow to NOT compromise my character in any way, shape, or form while building my empire. I represent excellence and I have no desire to be anything less.

It may be difficult, but there will be times we need to pick up our brooms and do some spiritual house cleaning. It is through this process that we find our true relationships, our true heart, our core integrity, and our life__ purpose.

Conscious humility is the decision to live from our hearts.

Don__ talk while having food was only meant to be in integrity with food.

Those who doubt themselves will doubt you. Those who limit themselves will try to limit you. Do not fight them. Smile, go your own way, and trust that your example is enough.

Your private self must become the same as your public self.

Demonstrating integrity is indispensable for leaders.

Listen with curiosity. Speak with honesty. Act with integrity. The greatest problem with communication is we don__ listen to understand. We listen to reply. When we listen with curiosity, we don__ listen with the intent to reply. We listen for what__ behind the words.

Intellectually and compassionately explaining the reason freedom works is required for credibility.

The person who feels secure, loved, safe and happy inside will have a secure, safe and happy life. Your inner integrity will be matched by those around you.

There is no teacher equal to mother and there's nothing more contagious than the dignity of a father.

I quit eating meat in 1976, the same year I turned fifteen, came out, and went to my first gay rights rally (not in that order). When I say that I 'came out,' I mean that I resolved to never lie about my love for women, never deliberately pass for straight, and never deny a lover by calling her 'him.' To do so, I felt, would be to betray not only the women I desired, but my deepest self.My decision to quit meat was equally simple. Somehow, through the confluence of midseventies influences, I knew that vegetarianism was a particularly healthy way to eat. One day, quite suddenly, I realized: If I didn't need to eat meat to stay alive, then eating meat was killing for pleasure. I couldn't live with myself, wouldn't be the nonviolent person I believed myself to be, if I killed other beings--beings who had their own desires--merely to satisfy my desire for the taste of their flesh.Looking back, I see that both decisions, coming out and quitting meat, are about the interplay of desire and integrity. Sometimes integrity means being true to your desires, and sometimes integrity requires you to refuse your desires. I also notice that both decisions were about bodies and consent. A primary tenet of gay liberation is that what consenting people do with each other's bodies is nobody else's business. And, of course, eating meat is something you do to somebody else's body without their consent.

let anyone using those weasel words __reedom of worship_ know, they have __reedom of worship_ in China and it is meaningless and it is vile. __reedom of worship_ says you may do what you like in that building on Sunday mornings or whenever you like, but when you come out you will bow to the secular orthodoxy of the state. That is the antithesis of what the Founders meant in guaranteeing __reedom of religion.

He was perceived to be intellectually promiscuous, a little too eager to please all groups.

It wasn't work. I played myself.

John D Rockefeller read his Bible religiously, but kept his ledger in a different drawer.
