Quotes on Honesty/Integrity

    This fall, my professional organization will be honoring my mentor. He is one of the foremost medicolegal experts in the country, being involved in some high profile cases. He had a recent medical diagnosis that will prevent/limit him from traveling in the future and will be scaling back his work into a somewhat early retirement, so our Fall conference will probably be the last one he attends for the members to recognize his commitment to the profession and our group.

    We are trying to find an applicable quote or passage that we can have engraved on aspects to give to him regarding honesty and integrity, as most of our work is identifying, reviewing and assisting in prosecuting health care fraud. In court, you only win if you have honesty and integrity. I did search for quotes on honesty and integrity on "BrainyQuote" (https://www.brainyquote.com/topics/integrity), but many don't apply (and the site actually used a quote from Rachel Dolezal, so I began to question anything else on that page).

    If you can think of anything or point me in a direction, I would be grateful.

    I recently spoke at a breakfast put on by my church on integrity so I would gladly share my notes with you if you’d like...here is one of the quotes I found and used that I thought was [emoji108]

    Integrity is the foundation that a successful life is built on. Without it you won't reach your highest potential. This is from Joel Osteen.

    Only downside is Osteen seems to be severely lacking in integrity.

    Sounds like a very worthy recipient, for some reason I'm thinking perhaps some personalised words may carry more weight? unless you happen to know they think highly of the quoted person or passage. For example the etymology of integrity around wholeness /completeness might have something. Anyways,

    Integrity is your destiny-it is the light that guides your way.

    And for some reason this one came to mind...

    Need we ask anyone to tell us these things?

    We do have this on our website. He and I are partners in a medicolegal consulting practice with one other.

    I was going to say, “Osteen didn’t burst into flames after uttering that.”
