Honesty is the best policy - when there is money in it.
Mark Twain
Honesty is the best policy; but he who is governed by that maxim is not an honest man.
Richard Whately
Honesty is the best policy.
Benjamin Franklin
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
In all my public and private acts as your president, I expect to follow my instincts of openness and candor with full confidence that honesty is always the best policy in the end.
Gerald R. Ford
It is always the best policy to speak the truth, unless, of course, you are an exceptionally good liar.
Jerome K. Jerome
Let none of us delude himself by supposing that honesty is always the best policy. It is not.
Dean Inge
The best policy is to declare victory and leave.
George D. Aiken
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
Would that the simple maxim, that honesty is the best policy, might be laid to heart; that a sense of the true aim of life might elevate the tone of politics and trade till public and private honor become identical.
Margaret Fuller
