Accuracy is the twin brother of honesty; inaccuracy, of dishonesty.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
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.
Dalton Trumbo
Dishonesty is so grasping it would deceive God himself, were it possible.
George Bancroft
Honesty is for the most part less profitable than dishonesty.
Plato
I do not believe we can blame genetics for adultery, homosexuality, dishonesty and other character flaws.
Jerry Falwell
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.
David Arquette
I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don't trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it.
Charles Dickens
Men are able to trust one another, knowing the exact degree of dishonesty they are entitled to expect.
Stephen Leacock
Regardless of the moral issue, dishonesty in advertising has proved very unprofitable.
Leo Burnett
The discipline of the written word punishes both stupidity and dishonesty.
John Steinbeck
The greatest truth is honesty, and the greatest falsehood is dishonesty.
Abu Bakr
There are some things that we know are just not as pleasant as the lies that we tell ourselves, and in that sense in order to endure existence everyone endures a certain amount of dishonesty in their everyday lives.
Todd Rundgren
There is no kind of dishonesty into which otherwise good people more easily and frequently fall than that of defrauding the government.
Benjamin Franklin
Time will inevitably uncover dishonesty and lies; history has no place for them.
Norodom Sihanouk
Unfaithfulness in the keeping of an appointment is an act of clear dishonesty. You may as well borrow a person's money as his time.
Horace Mann
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.
