Honesty
The first step toward greatness
is to be honest says the proverb,
but the proverb fails to state the
case strong enough. Honesty is
not the first step toward gieat-
uesS, but it is the greatness itself.
The person who says there is
Such tiling as an honest man, is
usually a dishonest one himself.
Honesty is the best policy, but
those who do honest things mere
ly because they think it is a gOud
policy, are not honest. No man
has ever been to<> honest.
Strict honesty is the crown ol
One's early d a y s. Everybody
debits with honesty every minute
they live.
No man knows the extent ol
honesty until In- has had a temp
tation Men who shudder at the
dishonesty of others sometime be
come dishonest like his ft-llowinau.
Heaven grant all such to feel
that an “Honest man is the nob
lest work of God” and to live as
they feel. By Mary Culler.
