One million stars for this quote!!!

Jack, Brussels (Belgium) - but I'm British !

Dr Laura was not the first to come up with this thought - compare: Dryden: “Virtue is its own reward” Dryden (a great classicist) was in turn no doubt inspired by several classical authors, including: 1) Cicero: "Honor est praemium virtutis" 2) Seneca: “The reward of a good deed is to have done it” 3) Sophocles: "Rather fail with honour than succeed by fraud."

Yes, but apparently integrity has little market value. ;-)

Certainly since you won't get any other reward for it.

The least you get is a better nights sleep with a clear conscience, and that's at the small price of a little integrity.

I somehow feel this goes with "Believing in oneself" on the other hand Warren has a good tact on this quote for have you not heard, "No good deed shall go unpunished."

And should be the prime requisite of any President.... alas, it will not be so!
