In today's world, honesty has unfortunately morphed into an extremely expensive hobby...and is no more a virtue that it once was. By the same token, not everyone has what it takes to pay the price for indulging in it and maintaining it, relentlessly, under all circumstances.

About This Quote

It is hard to determine who is honest and who isn't. You can judge someone for their actions, or you can watch them closely. To do so requires a great deal of time and effort. But, in the end, it’s impossible to tell if someone is being honest or not.

It’s much easier to determine if they are lying, which is relatively easy because lying is much more predictable than honesty. Honesty doesn’t come naturally for many people, which often leads to the person being labeled as “a liar” by others without any other real proof of their guilt or innocence.
