“The Leader who is successful does not impress anyone with stories he should inspire others with his integrity of choices.”
“If you are not prepared to hear the bad news, by the time you find out about it, the damage is done and you have lost all credibility.”
“There is a goodness in the world that got me through, that taught me it s important to know who you are.”
“...[S]o many people look only to their bank balance for peace or to fellow human beings for models to follow. Clinicians, academicians, and politicians are often put to a test of faith. In pursuit of their goals, will their religion show or will it be hidden? Are they tied back to God or to man? I had such a test decades ago when one of my medical faculty colleagues chastised me for failing to separate my professional knowledge from my religious convictions. He demanded that I not combine the two. How could I do that? Truth is truth! It is not divisible, and any part of it cannot be set aside. Whether truth emerges from a scientific laboratory or through revelation, all truth emanates from God.”
“We should “liken all scriptures unto us … for our profit and learning.” Danger lurks when we try to divide ourselves with expressions such as “my private life” or even “my best behavior.” If one tries to segment his or her life into such separate compartments, one will never rise to the full stature of one’s personal integrity—never to become all that his or her true self could be.”
“Hustle. Grind. Integrity.”
“The TRUTH will STAND---and a LIE will FALL.”
“To inspire is to lead through a selfless compassionate character, which displays moral integrity as a path for all…”
“Being Fair and Consistent is the Hallmark of Effective and Non-discriminating Policies. If you are going to set up rules that all have to abide by, then you have to enforce it to all. Or it becomes targeting and discriminating. For consumer brands, it means you lose your integrity as a brand. You lose your effectiveness to keep the loyalty of your vendors, authors, and partners. - Strong by Kailin Gow”
“Successful people, whether they re working for somebody else or working for themselves, do whatever they do to the best of their ability – as if the boss is watching them every minute of every day.”
“Integrity is the only thing in life a person can truly call their own. You can have your freedom, your fortunes, your loved ones taken away by others; but only person that can take away your integrity is you.”
“It takes gumption to wake up every day to face the fickle world and cleave to your morals and values Not flinch at the slightest inflection of disrespect or disdain from wild ones to not give in and mimic the mockery of blending in void of integrity Standing resplendent among the dull and dirty ones who are no longer enthralled with the light of living Who’ve renounced their identity for worldy pleasures It takes audacity to live individually, intellectually, compassionately in your own way Do it anyway!”
“Especially to be avoided is approaching Kant s life in a spirit of hero worship or hagiography -- as though our interest in a philosopher s thoughts is, or ought to be, proportional to our admiration for the thinker as a human being. If there have been any true saints or heroes among important figures in the history of philosophy, we would do well to entirely ignore their heroism and saintliness in studying their philosophical thoughts. It is unhealthy and completely unphilosophical to venerate philosophers of the past as gurus at whose feet we should sit in order to absorb their wisdom. Such an attitude toward any other person, whether living or dead, betrays a contemptible slavishness of mind that is incompatible with doing philosophy at all. In holding this opinion, I am, incidentally, also being a good Kantian, since Kant regarded the practice of those who set others up as models for imitation as morally corrupt, tending sooner to produce either self-contempt or envy than virtue. But that is all the more reason to apply Kant s view on this matter to Kant himself. Even the view itself should be given no credit at all just because Kant held it, but should be held only because experience shows it to be true -- and true even about Kant himself.”
“You say that you trust no one, but I don t believe you. You trust constantly - even when you don t realize it. At the intersection, you trust that the other drivers will stop when their traffic lights are red; you trust the architects and builders when you walk into a building, the engineers when hopping onto a roller coaster, the cook when you re eating the meal prepared for you. To some extent you trust countless strangers on a daily basis. Just as you would have an extremely tough time surviving in this world with a full trust in all people, you would have an extremely tough time surviving in this world without any trust for any people.”
“Impeccability and integrity are two buzzwords when it comes to leadership, but if you’re not careful they can take you away from your greatest commitment — our alignment.”
“Your integrity is your biggest asset.”
“Rising above the crowd to shine with a blazing sense of honesty, integrity and rare honor is cool.”
