Remember: The best deceivers do everything they can to cloak their roguish qualities. They cultivate an air of honesty in one area to disguise their dishonesty in others. Honesty is merely another decoy in their arsenal of weapons.

Robert Greene

Accuracy is twin brother to honesty, and inaccuracy to dishonesty.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Accuracy is the twin brother of honesty; inaccuracy, of dishonesty.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

Honesty is for the most par less profitable than dishonesty.

Plato

Honesty is for the most part less profitable than dishonesty.

Plato

There is no glory in honesty if it is destructive. And no shame in dishonesty if its goal is to offer grace.

M.J. Rose

I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don't trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it.

Charles Dickens

Dishonesty is not the only alternative to honesty. There is also the highly underrated virtue of shutting up.

Judith Martin

My father had a very simple view of life: you don’t get anything for nothing. Everything has to be earned, through work, persistence and honesty. My father also had a deep charm, the gift of winning our trust. He was the kind of man with whom many people dream of spending an evening.

Grace Kelly

Napoleon Hill

Mao Zedong

People - Catholics and non-Catholics - are amazingly open to begin again in their walk with Jesus and in the Church when they hear clarity and honesty. What they don't put up with, thank God, is dishonesty and cover-up. And so I speak as openly as I possibly can about the difficulties of the Church because we shouldn't be afraid to call out an abuse of the wonderful gift God gives to us of the Church. When we - its members and its leaders - are imperfect we need to change. We need to begin again. That begins with honesty.

Jonathan Morris

Honesty is largely a matter of information, of knowing that dishonesty is a mistake. Principle is not as powerful in keeping people straight as a policeman.

E. W. Howe

My father was funnier than me. My father was Richard Pryor-funny. I'm just a better businessman.
