“Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously, fair, upright, fearless, to both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind.”

-B.C Forbes

Reflection:

What this statement probably means is that if honesty is what shows your character and that an honest person wouldn't do what is wrong. But be strong and fair. In other words honesty represents character and the honest man/woman always is fair, respectful, and brave. For example, someone who is honest shows that they are fair and brave, but a dishonest person shows that they are cowards and unfair. Another example is if someone finds someone else’s phone and decides to return it then he is a honest and brave person and if they decide not to turn it in then they are not honest.

“ Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon.”

                   Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Reflection:
What this statement probably means is that being honest is best way to walk upon. In other words, having the truth with you the road is always solid, not rough. For example, if you are not honest, then you will feel guilty and your road is always bumpy. However, if you are honest then you will feel great and your road is straight.

"Start with what is right rather than what is Acceptable"

Peter F. Drucker .

Reflection: 

What this statement probably means is to start with doing whats right other than doing what you believe is right. In other words, do what is right other than doing what seems right, but really isn't. For example, if you want to tell your parent(s) about an accident that had occurred you believe that you should tell your parents later, but the right thing to do is tell them now and you wont have to worry about not telling them earlier.
