“Integrity is not a conditional word. It doesn't blow in the wind or change with the weather. It is your inner image of yourself, and if you look in there and see a man who won't cheat, then you know he never will. Integrity is not a search for the rewards of integrity.

I told him he'd introduced himself sufficient, an' to please move out of my vicinity. An' went" - Lassiter”
