Sincerity is the luxury allowed, like diadems and authority, only to the highest rank. Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Candor is a proof of both a just frame of mind, and of a good tone of breeding. It is a quality that belongs equally to the honest man and to the gentleman. – James Fenimore Cooper

Gracious to all, to none subservient, Without offense he spoke the word he meant. – Thomas Bailey Aldrich
