Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what YOU believe, and not what others believe.

-Barbara De Angelis

If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.

-Mark Twain

In all things preserve integrity; and the consciousness of thine own uprightness will alleviate the toil of business, soften the hardness of ill-success and disappointments, and give thee an humble confidence before God.

-Anonymous

A little integrity is better than any career. 

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Trust is rebuilt by focusing not on what the other person did or did not do but on critiquing one's own behavior, improving one's trustworthiness, and focusing attention not on words and promises but on actions, attitudes, and ways of being.

-Kenneth Cloke and Joan Goldsmith

When integrity is broken, the greatest consequence is the one you suffer yourself.
