About This Quote
There is nothing more beneficial to have a reputation for honesty. When you have a reputation for being honest, people will trust you and you can get a lot of work done without having to worry about who can be trusted. When you have a reputation for being dishonest, however, people will not trust you, and it will be harder to do business with you.
