Famous quotes containing the word honesty:

    “Where I would like to discover facts, I find fancy. Where I would like to learn what I did, I learn only what I was thinking. They are loaded with opinion, moral thoughts, quick evaluations, youthful hopes and cares and sorrows. Occasionally, they manage to report something in exquisite honesty and accuracy. That is why I have refrained from burning them.”
    —E.B. (Elwyn Brooks)

    “He that fails in his endeavours after wealth or power will not long retain either honesty or courage.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
