Credit is both an intangible force and an intangible wealth. -(Japan) Kōnosuke Matsushita
If you live an honest life, you will surely have a clear conscience. -(Su) Gorky
Credit is like a mirror. As long as there are cracks, it can't be connected as it used to be. -(Switzerland) Amir
All that glitters is not gold; Beautiful words are not all good words. -(British) Shakespeare
Keeping promises is better than being famous. -(America) Roosevelt
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was a man named Ji Bu, who always kept his word and had a very high reputation. Many people established a strong friendship with him. At that time, there was even a proverb: "It is better to get a promise than a hundred pounds of gold." (This is the origin of the idiom "a promise is worth a thousand pounds") Later, he offended Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang and was offered a reward for his capture. As a result, his old friends were not only not confused by the heavy money, but also risked the extinction of the nine clans to protect him from disaster.
if a person is honest and trustworthy, he will naturally get a lot of help and gain everyone's respect and friendship. On the other hand, if you covet temporary comfort or petty advantages and lose faith in your friends, you will get "benefits" on the surface. But for this benefit, he ruined his reputation, which is much more important than material things. Therefore, breaking a promise to a friend is tantamount to losing a watermelon to pick up sesame seeds, which is not worth the loss.
