WQ - Integrity and Character

When we think about integrity, almost all of us have heard some version of this quote:

Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching. ~C.S. Lewis

Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody's going to know whether you did it or not. ~Oprah Winfrey

The integrity of the upright guides them,

but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.

~Proverbs 11:3~

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convnience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

Times of challenge describes what our men and women serving in the military face. They show great courage, character, and integrity in their service, and I want to honor them on this Veteran's Day, as well as remember those who gave their lives in the service as Canada and other nations mark Remembrance Day today. You can read more about these observances here: Remembrance Day ~ Veterans Day on Homeschool Coffee Break

Thank you to all veterans for your service!

Honor the legacy and memory of those who gave their lives in service.

May integrity and honesty protect me,

for I put my hope in you.

~Psalm 25:21~

When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost. ~Billy Graham

People with integrity walk safely,

but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed.

~Proverbs 10:9~

With integrity you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide. With integrity you will do the right thing, so you will have no guilt. With fear and guilt removed you are free to be and do your best. ~Zig Ziglar

Quoting reminds me there are other people in the world besides only me. 

And other thoughts besides mine, and other ways of thinking.
