Brandon Sanderson Quotes

Integrity is doing what you said you would do. It means you keep your promises.

Let no man turn aside, ever so slightly, from the broad path of honour, on the plausible pretence that he is justified by the goodness of his end. All good ends can be worked out by good means.

Honesty is nothin' compared to decency.

Never lie; never cheat; never steal. Don't whine; don't complain; don't make excuses.

Do the right thing, and then do the next right thing, and that will lead you to the next right thing after that.
