Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out.
Our actions identify the person behind the mask whenever our integrity is being challenged, there being an understanding that compromise can embellish a healthy bank balance for those who surrender their self respect.
Bravery is not simply a matter of facing temptation with courage, rather the foundation of every virtue when tested by that which lures the gullible into believing that they can compromise...just this once.
Experience is the bitterest of teachers, but we learn from our experiences that virtue can never be compromised, without also understanding that self respect is the first casualty of our free choice to believe that our virtue can be sold to enhance our dignity.
If I keep my character, I'll be rich enough.~Plutonius
