Integrity

Having the inner strength to be truthful, trustworthy,
and honest in all things.

"Keep true, never be ashamed of doing right; decide on what you think is right and stick to it."

George Eliot
1819-1880, British Novelist

 

"A task becomes a duty from the moment you suspect it to be an essential part of that integrity which alone entitles a man to assume responsibility."

Dag Hammarskjold
1905-1961, Swedish Statesman, Secretary-General of U.N.

Example: You order a package that is suppose to contain a basketball with a signature by Michael Jordan. You get it, but inside it also has Michael Jordan's old jersey. Show some integrity and return it.
