integrity

The true rule, in determining to embrace, or reject any thing, is not whether it have any evil in it; but whether it have more of evil, than of good. There are few things wholly evil, or wholly good." -- Abraham Lincoln, Original Quote

...I do not think that it is right for a man to appeal to the jury or to get himself acquitted by doing so; he ought to inform them of the facts and convince them by argument. The jury does not sit to dispense justice as a favour, but to decide where justice lies; and the oath which they have sworn is not to show favour at their own discretion, but to return a just and lawful verdict... Therefore you must not expect me, gentlemen, to behave towards you in a way which I consider neither reputable nor moral nor consistent with my religious duty.

Courage becomes a worthwhile and meaningful virtue when it is regarded not so much as a willingness to die manfully but as a determination to live decently.

Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you. While you live, while it is in your power, be good.

Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if you don__ have the first, the other two will kill you. You think about it; it__ true. If you hire somebody without [integrity], you really want them to be dumb and lazy.

Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody__ going to know whether you did it or not.

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

Karate is not about techniques and their execution, but about boldness, integrity and fight for justice and common good

A woman, who considers herself to be mature, has every right to insist certain respectful expectations be met by a man, but not if her behavior is consistently childish, selfish, foolish or disrespectful. Man and woman should strive to bring values to the table that are worthy of mutual honor. Mature men won't tolerate nonsense, but baby-boys will.

I've done some stupid things I regret, but I've managed to keep my integrity. Which is important because integrity is fragile. Break it once and it's gone forever.

True, sometimes it__ hard to tell the difference between authentic anger and bullshit and that__ why the following exercise is designed to help you express your resentments with integrity, and not with demoralizing bullshit

Anyone can possess, anyone can profess, but it is an altogether different thing to confess.

I realized that with everything I did from that point onward, I would have to ask myself this question: "How would I feel if what I'm doing right now is written up on the front page of the Wall Street Journal or the New York Times or if it is on television? Would I still do it?" That is a very useful exercise for leaders to engage in, because we shouldn't do anything we might be embarrassed by or ashamed of.

A GOOD man values his INTEGRITY and CHARACTER. NEVER deal with one that has no SELF RESPECT!

Do not except anything as love without truth because love and truth have always been best friends.

Integrity never goes out of style.

You can't fight mental health bias if you label people based on a lists of symptoms and you have no medical degree to diagnose people. We all have crazy running through our blood and so many things trigger that. We all struggle with our anxiety and twisted issues. Defamation of character is not kind, nor Christlike. Because when you label people with self righteous vindication you open the door to the very idea that self righteousness is itself a disorder that we should all be afraid of. This doorway when left open too long gets people to pull away from Christ, not run to him.

Anyone can lecture from the butt, only very few can act.
