Quote

Before us lie two paths - honesty and dishonesty. The shortsighted embark on the dishonest path the wise on the honest. For the wise know the truth in helping others we help ourselves and in hurting others we hurt ourselves. Character overshadows money, and trust rises above fame. Honesty is still the best policy.
