Famous quotes about honesty and trustworthiness

1. Small faith leads to great faith.

From "Han Feizi·Wai Chu Shuo, Part 1". Only when small integrity is established can great integrity be established.

2. A country will rule the world with faith, and will control foreign countries with courage.

From Ming Dynasty Shi Naian's "Water Margin·Chapter 68". Only when a country is honest can it govern the world well; only when a general leads an army bravely can he resist foreign aggression.

3. If you do hard work, you will strive to be the first; if you do things that are pleasurable, you will be able to do it. You must be honest, strict and detailed, and you will run rampant in the world.

From "Xunzi · Self-cultivation". When there are hard and tiring things, you rush to do them. When there are good things, you can leave them to others. You are dignified and loyal, observe etiquette and understand things clearly. There is no one in the world around such a person who does not trust him, even if he is a barbarian from all directions.

4. The only thing that matters in this world is trust, and human relationships are often filled with suspicion.

Yu Chuming·Tang Xianzu's "The Peony Pavilion·Chapter 29". The most important thing in the world is honesty. People often doubt each other in their interactions.

5. Flashy and unrealistic, where resentment gathers.

From "Zuo Zhuan: The Fifth Year of Wen Gong". The so-called "hua" is the same as "flower", describing the emptiness of his words; while "real" means fruit, which refers to the actual results of actions. This sentence means that if a person has a false name but no reality, such a person will definitely incur the resentment of others.

6. Pay attention to integrity and keep your promise.

A promise is worth a thousand gold: Once a promise is made, it is worth a thousand gold. Integrity is the foundation of one's life. If you promise others things, you must work hard to do so.

7. If you have a good heart, don’t ask, it’s good luck.

From "Book of Changes·Yi Gua". If I am a person of integrity, the people will obey my heart, and everything will be fine without asking.

8. To know something is to know it, and to know something is not to know it. This is knowledge.

"The Analects of Confucius·For Politics". Knowing means knowing, not knowing means not knowing. The ultimate goal is to know. We should insist on seeking truth from facts, dare to face up to the things we do not understand and the truths we do not understand, and at the same time ask others for advice with a humble attitude. Only in this way can we continue to make progress in our studies and improve our cultivation.
