A task becomes a duty from the moment you suspect it to be an essential part of that integrity which alone entitles a man to assume responsibility. Integrity is the first step to true greatness. Men love to praise, but are slow to practice it. A person is not given integrity. It results from the relentless pursuit of honesty at all times.
Nothing is more confusing than people who give good advice but set bad examples.
Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right. One who condones evil is just as guilty as the one who perpetrates it. There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because it's right. Nothing more completely baffles one who is full of trick and duplicity, than straightforward and simple integrity in another. He does not believe that does not act according to his belief.
