Honesty is the best policy!

A young man, starting out on a business career was being given some advice by his father, himself a very successful and wealthy man.

“And remember, son”, said the older man “always keep in mind that honesty always has been and always will be the best policy”.

“Oh yes, indeed”, agreed the son.

“Oh, and incidentally” were the parting words of his father, “You might read a bit on corporation law. It is really surprising how many things can be done in a business way, and still be honest”.

What is the meaning of Business Ethics?

A little boy asked his father, Papa, “what does it mean, business ethics?”

“Well,” explained the merchant, “it is like this. Comes into the store a man and makes a purchase. He gives me a bright, new five dollar bill, which is just the right amount, and he starts out. I am turning to the cash register when I discover that it is not one, it is two five dollar bills stuck together. Now comes it in the business ethics —  Should I tell my partner?”

Jester’s Retort

Pace, jester to Queen Elizabeth, was so bitter in his retort s to her, that she forbade him her royal presence. After he had been absent for some time, a few of his friends interceded for him, assuring the queen that he would be more guarded in his remarks in the future.

The very first time Pace was as bad as ever.

“Come on, Pace”, said the queen in a gracious humour, “now we shall hear of our faults” .

“No, Madam”, said Pace, “I never talk of what is discoursed by all the world”.

Mirabeau was seldom sincere. Robespierre, nearly always. Once, when Robespierre was speaking, Mirabeau, who had listened attentively, bent his leonine head over to his neighbour and remarked

“That man Wilfred go far; he believes all he says”.

Honest Beggar

A beggar asking Dr Smottett for alms. He gave him through mistake, a Guinea. The poor fellow on perceiving it, hobbled after him to return it, upon which Smottett returned it to him with another Guinea as a reward for his honesty, exclaiming at the same time, “What a lodging honesty, has taken up with!”
