Honesty refers to integrity, truthfulness, and straightforwardness in one's conduct and interactions. It is valued across many cultures. Thomas Jefferson is attributed as saying "Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom." Stories are provided as examples of honesty being rewarded - such as a poor boy returning a lost money bag and receiving a good job as a result of his honesty. Reasons for lying include making oneself look better or avoiding embarrassment. To be honest, one should anticipate feelings of guilt, stop comparing oneself to others, accept consequences, do things that make one feel pride, and avoid situations where one might be compelled to lie for others.

QUOTES Treat those who are good with goodness, and also treat those who are not good with goodness. Thus goodness is attained. Be honest to those who are honest, and be also honest to those who are not honest. Thus honesty is attained.
Honesty is the cornerstone of all success, without which confidence and ability to perform shall cease to exist.

STORIES A milkman became very wealthy through dishonest means. He had to cross a river daily to reach the city where his customers lived. He mixed the water of the river generously with the milk that he sold for a good profit. One day he went around collecting the dues in order to celebrate the wedding of his son. With the large amount thus collected he purchased plenty of rich clothes and glittering gold ornaments. But while crossing the river the boat capsized and all his costly purchases were swallowed by the river. The milk vendor was speechless with grief. At that time he heard a voice that came from the river, Do not weep. What you have lost is only the illicit gains you earned through cheating your customers. MORAL : Honest dealings are always supreme. Money earned by wrong methods will never remain for ever.
STORIES Once there was a poor boy in a town, his father had died. He had a widow mother and three younger sisters. there was no source of income to support them.
