“It's easy to maintain your integrity when no one is offering to buy it out.”

“When you are able to maintain your own highest standards of integrity - regardless of what others may do - you are destined for greatness.”

“So I have just one wish for you – the good luck to be somewhere where you are free to maintain the kind of integrity I have described, and where you do not feel forced by a need to maintain your position in the organization, or financial support, or so on, to lose your integrity. May you have that freedom.”

“Do you think integrity is the monopoly of the artist? And what, incidentally, do you think integrity is? The ability not to pick a watch out of your neighbor's pocket? No, it's not as easy as that. If that were all, I'd say ninety-five percent of humanity were honest, upright men. Only, as you can see, they aren't. Integrity is the ability to stand by an idea. That presupposes the ability to think. Thinking is something one doesn't borrow or pawn.”

“It's easy to look like Santa Claus when you don't have to buy the groceries.”

“Everybody offers to buy one a drink; but nobody ever dreams of buying one a sandwich.”
