I don’t know how I’m going to live with myself if I don’t stay true to what I believe.
How you do anything is how you do everything.
It’s not easy to stand alone against the ridicule of others.
You can’t put a price on integrity.
Secret? What do you mean secret? There are no secrets in a jury room.
Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us. But within that inch, we are free.
You don’t need to wear a patch on your arm to have honor.[to Dawson]
Respect for one’s elders shows character.
I’ll paraphrase Thoreau here. “Rather than love, than money, than faith, than fame, than fairness, give me truth.”
I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small, and it is fragile, and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.
Do you know our motto?[Walter Mitty]“Life… I’m lovin’ it?”[Ted Hendricks]That’s… No. That’s McDonald’s. This thing that you do, Ted, where you come into a place and you push people out. You should know that those people worked really hard to build this magazine. They believed in the motto. And I get it. You got your marching orders and you have to do what you have to do. But you don’t have to be such a d*ck. Put that on a plaque, and hang it at your next job.[Walter Mitty]
