Qualities of Good Men

Integrity

Integrity is what it costs you.

Be the same man in the dark that you are in the light. Keep your word, especially when it costs you.

A man of integrity is the same man in every room. He doesn't keep one face for his boss, another for his wife, and a third for his friends. There's just one of him — whole, undivided. That's what the word means: not broken into pieces.

The world will offer you a thousand small discounts on your character — little lies, quiet compromises, no one will ever know. But you will know. And a man who'll trade his word for a little comfort will trade anything, eventually. Guard the one thing they can never give back.
