THIS WEEK’S QUOTATIONS




Let no pleasure tempt thee, no profit allure thee, no persuasion move thee, to do anything which thou knowest to be evil. So shalt thou always live jollity, for a good conscience is a continual Christmas.
– Benjamin Franklin, Founding Father, inventor, diplomat (1706-1790)

If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, the other virtues would be well-nigh useless.
– Moliere, French playwright, actor (1622-1673)

The chief lesson I have learned in a long life is that the only way you can make a man trustworthy is by trusting him, and the surest way to make him untrustworthy is to distrust him and show your distrust.
– Henry L. Stimson, statesman (1867-1950)

A person who is fundamentally honest doesn’t need a code of ethics. The Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount are all the ethical code anybody needs.
– Harry S. Truman, 33rd President (1884-1972)

In the geometry of life, the axiom “positive attitudes produce positive results” makes success more likely, failures less harmful, pleasures more frequent, and pain more bearable.
– Michael Josephson
