Honesty Is The Best Policy Quotes

Benjamin Franklin quote: "Honesty is the best policy."
Honesty is the best policy. Benjamin Franklin

Mark Twain quote: "Honesty is the best policy - when there is money in it."
Honesty is the best policy - when there is money in it. Mark Twain
And what is true education? It is awakening a love for truth; giving a just sense of duty; opening the eyes of the soul to the great purpose and end of life. It is not so much giving words, as thoughts; or mere maxims, as living principles. It is not teaching to be honest, because 'honesty is the best policy'; but because it is right. It is teaching the individual to love the good, for the sake of the good; to be virtuous in action because one is so in heart; to love and serve God supremely,... David O. McKay

Frank Herbert

I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy. George Bernard Shaw
Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy. George Carlin
Dean Inge quote: "Let none of us delude himself by supposing that honesty is..."
Let none of us delude himself by supposing that honesty is always the best policy. It is not. Dean Inge
In all my public and private acts as your president, I expect to follow my instincts of openness and candor with full confidence that honesty is always the best policy in the end. Gerald R. Ford
W. Somerset Maugham quote: "In business sharp practice sometimes succeeds, but in art..."
In business sharp practice sometimes succeeds, but in art honesty is not only the best but the only policy. W. Somerset Maugham
