True Honesty
Exodus 20:15
You shall not steal.


There is an anecdote told of a brave general of the American Revolution, that he one day overheard the remark of a grandson, that "he hoped to be middling honest." The old gentleman stopped, turned short upon the speaker, and broke out: "What is that I hear? Middling honest! let me never hear again such a word from your lips. Strictly honest is the only thing you ought ever to think of being."
