Integrity is at the heart of commerce in the world in which we live. Honesty and integrity comprise the very underpinnings of society.....Indeed, the strength and safety of any organization-including the family-lie in the integrity of its members. Without personal integrity, there can be no confidence. Without confidence, there can be no prospect of permanent success.

Gordon B. Hinckley

People confuse integrity with the idea of a high moral standing. I think integrity is saying you're going to do something and doing it.

Stephanie Ruhle

If you speak your mind and if it is true what you're saying, then I think the integrity of what you're saying carries through.

Bill Cosby

After a while, though the grief did not go away from us, it grew quiet. What had seemed a storm wailing through the entire darkness seemed to come in at last and lie down.

Wendell Berry

Glorify a lie, legalize a lie, arm and equip a lie, consecrate a lie with solemn forms and awful penalties, and after all it is nothing but a lie. It rots a land and corrupts a people like any other lie, and by and by the white light of God's truth shines clear through it, and shows it to be a lie.

Edwin Hubbel Chapin

A single lie destroys a whole reputation for integrity.

Baltasar Gracian

A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity.

Baltasar Gracian

In business, integrity is just as important as in any of the great public offices... but I believe one of the first and fundamental obligations of competent business leadership is above all to protect the reputation and integrity of the business - to that degree the integrity of the business is the integrity of the leader.

Peter Cosgrove

The black hole in democracy is integrity. The great unspoken is integrity. When integrity is not first and foremost, it's quite palpable but not visible. It's always there. Jazz highlights it because musicians and jazz always represented a high level of integrity.

Wynton Marsalis

No doubt, corporate CEOs who lie to their shareholders and politicians who lie to their public know and believe intellectually that lying is immoral. Why then do they lie? They lie to others because they first lie to themselves.

Lewis B. Smedes

The most important thing about my life is this integrity, and you can't lie to yourself.

Christopher Guest

To act honestly- even at the risk of saying the unpleasant truth, or of saying no and causing distress to others- if done with intelligence and tact, is the kindest thing to do because it respects our own integrity and acknowledges in others the capacity to be competent and mature.

Piero Ferrucci

Serve God with integrity, and if you achieve no success, at least no sin will lie upon your conscience.

Charles Spurgeon

I did a lot of writing when I was in college, and that's what I thought I wanted to do; saying that I wanted to be a writer seemed more reasonable than saying I wanted to be a musician.

Jack Tatum

When executives allegedly lie to the investing public about their company's performance and thereby harm the integrity of the market, they must be held accountable.
