Integrity, honesty, and honor may not give immediate rewards or gratification, and they can be life-threatening (for example, being a whistle-blower or turning state's evidence). The absence of integrity, honesty, and honor do not always bring punishment or scorn, and can be life-aggrandizing (connivers and cheats often gain power and wealth). Therefore, morality must be its own reward.
May we be people of honesty and integrity trying to do the right thing at all times and in all circumstances.
Two great virtues . . . give a man power with the heavens - integrity and purity of character.

We all have our weaknesses; God has permitted them that we might be taught humility in ourselves and charity towards others.
