Confidence Honesty Integrity

More From Michel De Montaigne

Integrity is at the heart of commerce in the world in which we live. honesty and integrity comprise the very underpinnings of society.....indeed, the strength and safety of any organization-including the family-lie in the integrity of its members. without personal integrity, there can be no confidence. without confidence, there can be no prospect of permanent success.

Greek architecture taught me that the column is where the light is not, and the space between is where the light is. it is a matter of no-light, light, no-light, light. a column and a column brings light between them. to make a column which grows out of the wall and which makes its own rhythm of no-light, light, no-light, light: that is the marvel of the artist.

Confidence is not lodged in people's brains, it comes from the support system that surrounds them. let's not confuse confidence overall with just self-confidence. self-confidence is only one part of confidence. people also need confidence in others - their colleagues and leaders - that they can count on them to do the right thing and not to let them down.
People Support Leader
Integrity, honesty, and honor may not give immediate rewards or gratification, and they can be life-threatening (for example, being a whistle-blower or turning state's evidence). the absence of integrity, honesty, and honor do not always bring punishment or scorn, and can be life-aggrandizing (connivers and cheats often gain power and wealth). therefore, morality must be its own reward.
Honesty Integrity Punishment
The black hole in democracy is integrity. the great unspoken is integrity. when integrity is not first and foremost, it's quite palpable but not visible. it's always there. jazz highlights it because musicians and jazz always represented a high level of integrity.
Integrity Black Democracy
In order to be a leader a man must have followers. and to have followers, a man must have their confidence. hence, the supreme quality for a leader is unquestionably integrity. without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office. if a man's associates find him guilty of being phony, if they find that he lacks forthright integrity, he will fail. his teachings and actions must square with each other. the first great need, therefore, is integrity and high purpose.
