Honesty is not greater where elegance is less.

The natural progress of the works of men is from rudeness to convenience, from convenience to elegance, and from elegance to nicety

Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people.

If only for the sake of elegance, I try to remain morally pure.
