The most important persuasion tool in your entire arsenal is integrity.

If it is any use to know it, I always try to write on the principle of the iceberg. There is seven-eighths of it under water for every part that shows.

With integrity, you have nothing to fear, since you have nothing to hide.

Success is simple. Do what's right, the right way, at the right time.

If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh unless, since their chief purpose is to make us bear with patience the injustice of our fellows.

You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.

Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of another.

Wherever there is injustice, war, discrimination against women, gays and the disadvantaged, I did my best to show up and exert moral persuasion.

Peace by persuasion has a pleasant sound, but I think we should not be able to work it. We should have to tame the human race first, and history seems to show that that cannot be done.

A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.

Without properly kept accounts it is impossible to maintain truth in its pristine purity.
