Honest Man Quotes (page 5)

Fyodor Dostoevsky quote: "But I tell you what it is; an honest and sensitive man is..."
But I tell you what it is; an honest and sensitive man is open; and a business man 'listens and goes on eating' you up. Fyodor Dostoevsky
There is here, what is not in the old country. In spite of hard, unfamiliar things, there is here - hope. In the old country, a man can be no more than his father, providing he works hard. If his father was a carpenter, he may be a carpenter. He many not be a teacher or a priest. He may rise - but only to his father's state. In the old country, a man is given to the past. Here he belongs to the future. In this land, he may be what he will, if he has the good heart and the way of working... Betty Smith
That's just the point: an honest and sensitive man opens his heart, and the man of business goes on eating - and then he eats you up. Fyodor Dostoevsky
If I had been downright honest with myself, I would have seen very plainly in my heart that I did but half fancy being committed this way to so long a voyage, without once laying my eyes on the man who was to be the absolute dictator of it, so soon as the ship sailed out upon the open sea. But when a man suspects any wrong, it sometimes happens that if he be already involved in the matter, he insensibly strives to cover up his suspicions even from himself. And much this way it was with me. I... Herman Melville
Bertrand Russell quote: "Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is..."
Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man. Bertrand Russell
Don't be led away to think this part of the world important and that unimportant. Every corner of the world is important. No man knows whether this part or that is most so, but every man may do some honest work in his own corner. Thomas Hughes
The honest and good man ought to be exactly like a man who smells strong, so that the bystander as soon as he comes near him must smell whether he choose or not. Marcus Aurelius
Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man, and our politicians take advantage of this prejudice by pretending to be even more stupid than nature has made them. Bertrand Russell
Not selfishness, but precisely the absence of a self. Look at them. The man who cheats and lies, but preserves a respectable front. He knows himself to be dishonest, but others think he’s honest and he derives his self-respect from that, second-hand. The man who takes credit for an achievement which is not his own. He knows himself to be mediocre, but he’s great in the eyes of others. Ayn Rand
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "No such thing as a man willing to be honest - that would be..."
No such thing as a man willing to be honest - that would be like a blind man willing to see. F. Scott Fitzgerald
And let me tell you, you boys of America, that there is no higher inspiration to any man to be a good man, a good citizen, and a good son, brother, or father, than the knowledge that you come from honest blood. John Sergeant Wise
Every man should make up his own mind that if he expect to succeed, he must give an honest return for the other man's dollar. Edward H. Harriman
George R. R. Martin quote: "You are an honest and honorable man...Ofttimes I forget that...."
You are an honest and honorable man...Ofttimes I forget that. I have met so few of them in my life. George R. R. Martin
If Nietzsche is correct, that to shame a man is to kill him, then any honest attempt at autobiography will be an act of self-destruction. Albert Camus
The poor dog, in life the firmest friend, The first to welcome, foremost to defend, Whose honest heart is still the master's own, Who labours, fights, lives, breathes for him alone, Unhonour'd falls, unnoticed all his worth, Denied in heaven the soul he held on earth, While man, vain insect hopes to be forgiven, And claims himself a sole exclusive heaven. George Byron
