An Honest Man

“All goes well as long as you run with conformists. But you, who are an honest man in other particulars, know that there is alive somewhere a man whose honesty reaches to this point also, that he shall not kneel to false gods, and, on the day when you meet him, you sink into the class of counterfeits. If you take in a lie, you must take in all that belongs to it.”
--Ralph Waldo Emerson
