 Take a business man who has learned to order his ways in public and private in integrity and honesty—to depart from principles such as these, would be, in his eyes, painful, and cause for grief and sorrow. But with too many it is accepted as an axiom that one cannot prosper in a business way and maintain the right. To attempt to do so seems to them to foreshadow certain and speedy failure. (Proverbs Twenty-One by H.A. Ironside)
