Zitat des Tages über Unehrlichkeit / Dishonesty:
The discipline of the written word punishes both stupidity and dishonesty.
I'm a guy who is easy to get along with, and I'll put up with a lot of things. But not dishonesty.
Dishonesty is all about the small acts we can take and then think, 'No, this not real cheating.' So if you think that the main mechanism is rationalization, then what you come up with, and that's what we find, is that we're basically trying to balance feeling good about ourselves.
Whether people care enough about local news to pay for it is, sadly, an entirely different question than whether our democracy requires a strong watchdog function at the local level to ensure safeguards against abuse, chicanery, and outright dishonesty.
Dishonesty is Trump's hallmark: He claimed that he had spoken clearly and boldly against going into Iraq. Wrong. He spoke in favor of invading Iraq. He said he saw thousands of Muslims in New Jersey celebrating 9/11. Wrong. He saw no such thing. He imagined it.
Honesty is of God and dishonesty of the devil; the devil was a liar from the beginning.
Dishonesty is so grasping it would deceive God himself, were it possible.

There is an interaction and action, reaction between two people. One should show honesty in a relationship. Be honest to your partner and tell him everything. How long can you do things with dishonesty and that's wrong. Don't get into a relationship if you can't be honest.
My father was a businessman. We had discussions about honesty and dishonesty.
There is no kind of dishonesty into which otherwise good people more easily and frequently fall than that of defrauding the government.
Dishonesty in government is the business of every citizen. It is not enough to do your own job. There's no particular virtue in that. Democracy isn't a gift. It's a responsibility.
Accuracy is the twin brother of honesty; inaccuracy, of dishonesty.
Men are able to trust one another, knowing the exact degree of dishonesty they are entitled to expect.
Honesty is for the most part less profitable than dishonesty.
I don't want to lie. I dislike dishonesty. And I work in Hollywood, a town and a business that relies on a lot of falsehoods with people hiding behind different facades. I don't want to be a part of that.
People want to work with somebody who feels shame, who worries about the perceptions of others. Dishonesty is something we don't like in others.
Time will inevitably uncover dishonesty and lies; history has no place for them.
The greatest truth is honesty, and the greatest falsehood is dishonesty.
In a world where everyone is behaving honestly, any dishonesty constitutes a big infraction. But, in a world where many people are behaving dishonestly, and the news is filled with stories of their infractions, even big infractions can feel small to the perpetrator.
Dishonesty of any kind will create a blemish.
I detest politics, to be honest with you. It's a cesspool. And I don't think I would fare well in that cesspool because I don't believe in political correctness and I certainly don't believe in dishonesty.
I think art cannot be planned. The audience is too smart to get the dishonesty or 'too much planning' thing. I am not a legend, but I want to be one. I want to be known as an achiever. There is so much more that I can do.
