Keep Your Integrity

It’s more precious than diamonds or rubies.

The old miser said to his sons:

“Make money; get it honestly if you can, but get money:”

This advice was not only terribly evil, but it was the very heart and soul of stupidity:

It was like saying, “if you find it you can’t get money honestly, you can easily

get it dishonestly.

“Poor fool!”

Not realizing that one of the most difficult things in life is to make money dishonestly!

Prisons are full of people who tried to follow this advice; without realizing that you can’t be dishonest, without soon being

found out, and that when this happens as it will, nearly every road to success is closed.

Society blackballs those whose integrity is doubted.

It doesn’t matter how respectable and nice a person may seem to be, none of us want to hang with a person

we suspect deals with “false weights and measures.”

Honesty is the basis for all success in life (financially).

Uncompromising integrity is priceless.

With integrity comes a peace and joy which cannot be achieved without it–and this is something that money can’t buy.

A person who has a reputation for being honest, may appear to be poor, but they have the trust of their community –because everyone knows that if they promise to return something that they have borrowed — they will.

Remember that “honesty is the best policy.”
