STOP AND THINK – Nothing is useful which is not honest. (Benjamin Franklin, a founding father of the United States)
The proverb, “Honesty is the best policy,” has lost some of its luster in a world where dishonesty seems to pay off too often. The gains of dishonest living, however, will often be the undoing of those who have been less than honest. We must not be fooled by the temporary advantage of wrong-doers. In God’s good time, virtue will win the day.
Have I not written . . . sayings of counsel and knowledge, teaching you to be honest and to speak the truth? (Proverbs 22:20-21)
