Confidence… thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live.

I think what’s important is for us to decipher what is honest and what is dishonest and be accepting of those things and not operating from fear.

Disarmament, with mutual honor and confidence, is a continuing imperative.

No public man can be just a little crooked.

We give speeches and pin ribbons onto uniforms, etch names into walls. And all that is fine, but too often, all those tributes, all those words aren’t always backed up by action. And that felt like such a stark contrast to me, because, as we all know, our military is all about action.

I feel confident imposing change on myself. It’s a lot more fun progressing than looking back. That’s why I need to throw curve balls.

The best thing is to always keep honest people around, because when you have a bunch of yes men around that know that you’re making a mistake but let you go on with it, that’s when it ruins your mind state as an artist.

George Washington, as a boy, was ignorant of the commonest accomplishments of youth. He could not even lie.

It is more from carelessness about truth than from intentionally lying that there is so much falsehood in the world.

I feel a distaste for hunting, first because of a kind of Buddhist respect for the unity and sacredness of all life, and also because the pursuit of a hare or chamois strikes me as a kind of ‚escape of energy,‘ that is, the expenditure of our effort in an illusory end, one devoid of profit.

A lie cannot live.

People who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false, a gift confers no rights.

I’ve used my femininity and my sexuality as a weapon and a tool… but that’s just natural.

Show me the man you honor, and I will know what kind of man you are.

I just think you ought to talk straight with your people.

Accept everything about yourself – I mean everything, You are you and that is the beginning and the end – no apologies, no regrets.

Physical elegance, which is what I am talking about here, comes from the body. This is no superficial matter, but rather the way that man found to honour the way he places his two feet on the ground.

Only the insecure strive for security.

We’re all capable of mistakes, but I do not care to enlighten you on the mistakes we may or may not have made.

Nothing reflects so much honor on a workman as a trial of his work and its endurance of it. So it is with God. It honors Him when His saints preserve their integrity.

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

I stand by all the misstatements that I’ve made.

No one can lie, no one can hide anything, when he looks directly into someone’s eyes.

The main rule to me is to honor God with your life. To life a life of integrity. Not be selfish. You know, help others. But that’s really the essence of the Christian faith.

I was honoured when they asked me to appear at the president’s birthday rally in Madison Square Garden. There was like a hush over the whole place when I came on to sing ‚Happy Birthday,‘ like if I had been wearing a slip, I would have thought it was showing or something. I thought, ‚Oh, my gosh, what if no sound comes out!‘

My number one thing? Don’t overleverage yourself. Don’t say you can do something when you really can’t.

Anger cannot be dishonest.

I am being frank about myself in this book. I tell of my first mistake on page 850.

I was really too honest a man to be a politician and live.

Every time somebody speaks of my honesty, there is someone who quivers inside me.

Truly, I would not hang a dog by my will, much more a man who hath any honesty in him.

All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.

My days, my years, my life has seen up and downs, lights and darknesses. If I wrote only and continually of the ‚light‘ and never mentioned the other, then as an artist, I would be a liar.

I’m not going to lie; listen, I’m nice at basketball.

I’ll be honest: I haven’t ruled politics out.

The greatest honor history can bestow is that of peacemaker.

Unlike some politicians, I can admit to a mistake.

It is better to be deceived by one’s friends than to deceive them.

The higher the sun ariseth, the less shadow doth he cast; even so the greater is the goodness, the less doth it covet praise; yet cannot avoid its rewards in honours.

Falsehood is easy, truth so difficult.

Why lie? I’m not going to be a hypocrite and say the opposite of what I think, like some others do.

Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.

We learned about honesty and integrity – that the truth matters… that you don’t take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules… and success doesn’t count unless you earn it fair and square.

Do not be very upright in your dealings for you would see by going to the forest that straight trees are cut down while crooked ones are left standing.

Honestly, I always believed in myself. For real, for real.

My great-grandfather and his two brothers fought at Gettysburg. They were in artillery, and they survived the war, thank goodness. So I revere what they did. I think their motivations were honorable when they undertook the war and participated in it along with other Southerners.

Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure there is one less rascal in the world.

Without being the most confident person in the world, I think I am the right person for Liverpool.

When you’re faced with an opponent, the media asks the questions, and I answer truthfully. I don’t hold back.

Show me the person you honor, for I know better by that the kind of person you are. For you show me what your idea of humanity is.

When you are asked if you can do a job, tell ‚em, ‚Certainly I can!‘ Then get busy and find out how to do it.

Honor has not to be won; it must only not be lost.

No one ever told me I was pretty when I was a little girl. All little girls should be told they’re pretty, even if they aren’t.

I think style is being so comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing. That’s what style is, ‚cause everybody’s got different style.

I don’t kiss nobody’s butt.

The honor of a nation is its life.

So confident am I in the intentions, as well as wisdom, of the government, that I shall always be satisfied that what is not done, either cannot, or ought not to be done.

Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.

I’m extremely willful to win, and I respond to challenges. Scoring titles and stuff like that… it sounds, well, I don’t care how it sounds – to me, scoring comes easy. It’s not a challenge to me to win the scoring title, because I know I can.
