I want to be an honest man and a good writer.
James A. Baldwin
As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.
T. S. Eliot
Whatever else has been said about me personally is unimportant. When I sing, I believe. I'm honest.
Frank Sinatra
I have met with some of them - very honest fellows, who, with all their stupidity, had a kind of intelligence and an upright good sense, which cannot be the characteristics of fools.
Giacomo Casanova
I am afraid we must make the world honest before we can honestly say to our children that honesty is the best policy.
George Bernard Shaw
I have found that being honest is the best technique I can use. Right up front, tell people what you're trying to accomplish and what you're willing to sacrifice to accomplish it.
Lee Iacocca
Doubt, indulged and cherished, is in danger of becoming denial; but if honest, and bent on thorough investigation, it may soon lead to full establishment of the truth.
Ambrose Bierce
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
Leo Buscaglia
The trite saying that honesty is the best policy has met with the just criticism that honesty is not policy. The real honest man is honest from conviction of what is right, not from policy.
Robert E. Lee
The Catholic and the Communist are alike in assuming that an opponent cannot be both honest and intelligent.
George Orwell
The honest poor can sometimes forget poverty. The honest rich can never forget it.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Build me a son, O Lord, who will be strong enough to know when he is weak, and brave enough to face himself when he is afraid, one who will be proud and unbending in honest defeat, and humble and gentle in victory.
Douglas MacArthur
Pretty much all the honest truth-telling there is in the world is done by children.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
I cannot imagine any other country in the world where the opposition would seek, and the chief executive would allow, the dissemination of his most private and personal conversations with his staff, which, to be honest, do not exactly confer sainthood on anyone concerned.
Gerald R. Ford
Wheels of fire, cosmic, rich, full-bodied honest victories over desperation.
Thomas Merton
Here in America we are descended in blood and in spirit from revolutionists and rebels - men and women who dare to dissent from accepted doctrine. As their heirs, may we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
May we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Unless you're ashamed of yourself now and then, you're not honest.
William Faulkner
There lives more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half the creeds.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
