Famous quotes containing the word honesty:
“I often accuse my finest acquaintances of an immense frivolity; for, while there are manners and compliments we do not meet, we do not teach one another the lessons of honesty and sincerity that the brutes do, or of steadiness and solidity that the rocks do. The fault is commonly mutual; however, for we do not habitually demand any more of each other.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Truly, I would not hang a dog by my will, much more a man who hath any honesty in him.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“To make your children capable of honesty is the beginning of education.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
