[Lat., Semper bonus homo tiro est.] - Martial (Marcus Valerius Martialis), Epigrams (XII, 51, 2) The man who pauses in his honesty wants little of a villain. - Henry Martyn I am one of the few men honest enough to say they do not understand women. - Robert Gordon Menzies Lands mortgaged may return, and more esteem'd, But honesty once pawn'd, is ne'er redeem'd. - Thomas Middleton I'd rater know a square guy than own a square mile. - Wilson Mizner All other knowledge is hurtful to him who has not honesty and good-nature. - Michel Eyquem de Montaigne Honesty needs no pains to set itself off. - Edward Moore The badge of honesty is simplicity. - Novalis (pseudonym of Frederich Leopold von Hardenberg) Honesty needs no disguise nor ornament; be plain. - Thomas Otway It is necessary in this life,--at first honesty; then usefulness, which follows nearly always, for they cannot be separated. - Domenico Palmieri Money dishonestly acquired is never worth its cost, while a good conscience never costs as much as it is worth. - Jean-Antoine Petit-Senn Displaying page 2 of 4 for this topic: << Prev Next >> 1 [2] 3 4
