Honesty. 
AKE heed what you say, sir! 
An hundred honest men! why, if there were 
So many i’ th’ city, ’twere enough to forfeit 
Their charter. —Shirley. 
N honest man is still an unmov’d rock, IS words are bonds, his oaths are oracles; 
Wash’d whiter, but not shaken with the shock: His love sincere, his thoughts immaculate; 
Whose heart conceives no sinister device; His tears, pure messengers sent from his heart, 
Fearless he plays with flames, and treads on ice. His heart as far from fraud as heaven from earth.

O be honest, as this world goes, 
Is to be one pick’d out of ten thousand. 
—Shakespeare. 
N honest soul is like a ship at sea HE man who consecrates his hours 
That sleeps at anchor when the ocean’s calm; By vig’rous effort, and an honest aim, 
But when she rages, and the wind blows high, At once he draws the sting of life and death; 
He cuts his way with skill and majesty. He walks with nature, and her paths are peace. 
—Beaumont and Fletcher. —Young.
