Gary Condit Quotes

I believe in good, having morals, be a decent person.

I believe I am an honorable man.

Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us.

Base thy life on principle, not on rules.

It is not true that people of high principle are ill-suited for politics.

Honesty and integrity is an important part of our character, my character.

I'm not saying I'm a paragon of virtue, but it's hard for me not to be honorable.

I'm not Mary Poppins, but I think I functioned with integrity.

Character is higher than intellect. Thinking is the function; living is the functionary.

There is nothing more personal than your values. What you will and won't do to get ahead, the lines you will and won't cross to win, whom you will and won't step on for personal gain, are at the very core of your code of honor. And your code of honor determines your character. And your character is who you are. Behind closed doors. When nobody is watching.

Virtue and decency are so nearly related that it is difficult to separate them from each other but in our imagination.

Integrity is hard work. I do think the internet makes it harder because of the temptations of performance. You can perform and have integrity, but it's easier just to perform. So the temptations of social media lead to some dissonance.

No man's religion ever survives his morals.

Virtue is not a thing you can have by halves; it is or it is not.

Trust that man in nothing who has not a conscience in everything.

Ethics, decency and morality are the real soldiers

Moral courage is the highest expression of humanity.

Throughout my life, I have always tried to do what is right.

Character is that quality of mind which makes truth-telling instinctive rather than strange.

I've never had any desire to be good. I don't like goodness particularly.

I hope there's some kind of morality in all my work.

The person that loses their conscience has nothing left worth keeping.

No one can be good for long if goodness is not in demand.

Integrity is the core of our character. Without integrity, we have a weak foundation upon which to build other Christlike characteristics.

I'm a firm believer that character is highly overrated. Character is a trick that we do with the audience's collusion.
