"For my part, I learned long ago, the hard way that it's much better to tell the truth from the very beginning, even if the results for me aren't all that positive. But I also try to decide on actions that won't put me in a position in which I'll have to lie to someone in the future. I know that telling the truth is widely regarded as honorable and just, and I have no fear of taking responsibility for my actions. I'd rather be slammed for being honest than be promoted as a result of dishonesty, for though in the latter case others may feel good about me, I'll feel horrible about myself. And how can I live life fully if I don't feel good about myself?" Author unknown
