Integrity is the foundation of character.


If you have Integrity, nothing else matters...
If you Don't have Integrity, nothing else matters.


Honor and Integrity is not shared by all.
Those that are liars, think that all are liars.


Integrity is Important
"If you don't have integrity, you have nothing. You can't buy it. You can have all the money in the world, but if you are not a moral and ethical person, you really have nothing."
- Henry Kravis

Integrity is Important
"Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity."
- W. Clement Stone

Importance of Integrity
"One of the truest tests of integrity is its blunt refusal to be compromised."
- Chinua Achebe

Integrity is Important
"Integrity has no need of rules."
- Albert Camus

Importance of Integrity
"A little integrity is better than any career."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Integrity is Important
"The man who cannot endure to have his errors and shortcomings brought to the surface and made known, but tries to hide them, is unfit to walk the highway of truth."
- James Allen

Importance of Integrity
"Integrity can be neither lost nor concealed nor faked nor quenched nor artificially come by nor outlived, nor, I believe, in the long run, denied."
- Eudora Welty

Integrity is Important
"If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-night useless, since their chief purpose is to make us bear with patience the injustice of our fellows."
- Moliere

Integrity is Important
"Purity of heart is blooming the same colors in the middle of the wilderness when no one sees you."
- Vanna Bonta


Importance of Integrity
"Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary."
- Cecil Beaton

Integrity is Important
"Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe."
- Barbara de Angelis

Importance of Integrity
"I have found that great people do have in common an immense belief in themselves and in their mission. They also have great determination as well as an ability to work hard. At the crucial moment of decision, they draw on their accumulated wisdom. Above all, they have integrity."
- Yousuf Karsh

Some Christians give us a bad name out of one side of their mouth.

Many I see give false witness against their neighbor for profit.

Yep.. this is the integrity thread,,

It is hard to loose faith in your fellow man,,,
But, with practice, it comes easier...

We are not born with honor.
We are but human,
honor is in our actions, not our words.

Those with Low Self Esteem and Self Worth with
a lack of Self Awareness will attack others with
words, tricks and deceptions. This is there way of life.
In their neurosis you will see their self righteousness
displayed in anger and rage.

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

-- written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920s --

Character is much easier kept than recovered.
