Thank you for sharing these quotes. I googled inspirational quotes about honesty and you gave me what I needed for clarity in a relationship I am in. It is interesting that some can bend the truth and still call it being honest. I guess it matters on just how much bending one can tolerate before realizing the plain and simple truth of dishonesty behind the mask..

You have a very interesting perspective of honesty. From my point of view, I think there’s only one definition of honesty with the only variation been the EXTENT of honesty from different people.

Honesty means being genuine and reasonable (100%) to ourselves and people around us. But in today’s time or may be since existence of this world, no one has been 100% honest throughout their life. Honesty is variable in nature. It changes from situation to situation, for a person to another person and for one issue to another issue. In simple term, we all have our own definition of honesty.

Thank you for the quotes about honesty, it is so sad that most people cannot pledge themselves to be honest in all their affairs. The fact that the leader of the free world lies at will every single day, upsets me so and I am concerned for all the children in America, seeing our leader lie and giving the youth of this country an idea that lying can even propel you to the highest office in our nation. No child should ever think that being dishonest will get them further than if they were to be honest.

Glad you enjoyed the quotes Seth and thanks for sharing your opinion about the current situation in the US.
It is a shame the way things are but politics is all a game, the truth shall prevail.
We as the people must educate ourselves and our children in the right manner so that we don’t become corrupted by the confused leaders.
We all have the power to make a positive difference in the world, we must take action and do what we can to make this world a better place. Believe in a better future. Anything is possible.
