Integrity Quotes

[TPorter2]

The word of the month for November is going to be Integrity. Anyone have any good quotes on this topic?

Here are a few I found:

“Real integrity stays in place whether the test is adversity or prosperity.”

“Integrity - When you do the right thing even though no one is watching.”

“If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don’t have integrity,
nothing else matters.”

Appreciate the help!

I ran across this article a couple of months ago, and decided it was worth keeping. The focus is on academic integrity, but some of the general statements are enlightening.

The one I like is supposed to have been going around Hollywood, and I can believe it:

"If you can fake integrity, you've got it made." (!) :lol:

Thanks to all for the quotes. These really inspire some thinking, especially the Hollywood one!

Here are a few more:

"Always do right, this will gratify some people and astonish the rest." Mark Twain

"The most important persuasion tool you have in your entire arsenal is integrity" Zig Ziglar

"Even a child is known by his actions, by whether his conduct is pure and right" Proverbs 20-11

"The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible." Lucille Ball

and finally

"Set your expectations high; find men and women whose integrity and values you respect, get their agreement on a course of action; and give them your ultimate trust." John Fellows Akers (1934) Chairman of IBM

I see a real GTD tie-in there. Appreciate it!
