What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.
Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.
The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.
When you are able to maintain your own highest standards of integrity - regardless of what others may do - you are destined for greatness.
Real integrity stays in place whether the test is in adversity or prosperity.
Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity.
Look for intelligence and judgment and, most critically, a capacity to anticipate, to see around corners. Also look for loyalty, integrity, a high energy drive, a balanced ego and the drive to get things done.
You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.
Avoid him who talks sweetly before you but tries to ruin you behind your back, for he is like a pitcher of poison with milk on top.
Integrity, the choice between what’s convenient and what’s right.
The first principle is that you must not fool yourself – and you are the easiest person to fool. So you have to be very careful about that. After you’ve not fooled yourself, it’s easy not to fool other scientists. You just have to be honest in a conventional way after that.
Do the right thing, and then do the next right thing, and that will lead you to the next right thing after that.
Better to fail at doing the right thing than to succeed at doing the wrong thing.
Even if everyone is doing it, wrong is never right.
Be who you are and be that well.
You are authentic when everything you say and everything you do you ACTUALLY believe.
Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.
Character is doing the right thing when nobody’s looking.
In the end, your integrity is all you’ve got.
Truthfulness is the foundation of all the virtues of mankind.
