As you live your values, your sense of identity,
integrity, control, and inner-directedness will infuse you with both
exhilaration and peace. You will define yourself from within, rather than by
people's opinions or by comparisons to others.

ninety-five percent of humanity were honest, upright men. Only, as you can
see, they aren't. Integrity is the ability to stand by an idea.
