"Strive for the truth unto death, and the Lord shall fight for thee." -Ecclesiasticus 4:28, KJV
"Firm integrity shines forth as gold amid the dross and rubbish of the world. Deceit, falsehood, and unfaithfulness may be glossed over and hidden from the eyes of humanity, but not from the eyes of God. The angels of God, who watch the development of character and weigh moral worth, record in the books of heaven these minor transactions which reveal character. If working people in the daily vocations of life are unfaithful and slight their work, the world will not judge incorrectly if they estimate their standard in religion according to their standard in business." -Ellen G. White, Testimonies for the Church volume 4
"It is better to want than to lie; better to hunger than to defraud; better to die than to sin." -The Southern Watchman, May 10, 1904
"But thou shalt have a right and just weight: a perfect and a just measure shalt thou have, that thy days may be lengthened in the land, which the Lord thy God giveth thee." - Deuteronomy 25:15, GNV
"No one who is dishonest with God or with others can truly prosper..." -The Review and Herald, December 17, 1889.
"When we deal unjustly with other human beings or with our God, we despise the authority of God and ignore the fact that Christ has purchased us with His own life." -The Review and Herald, December 17, 1889.
"Those who truly fear God would rather toil day and night, and eat the bread of poverty, than to indulge a passion for gain which would oppress the widow and the fatherless, or turn strangers from their right. Our Savior sought to impress upon His hearers that the person who would venture to defraud a neighbor in the smallest item would, if the opportunity were favorable, overreach in larger matters. The slightest departure from rectitude breaks down the barriers, and prepares the heart to do greater injustice. By precept and example Christ taught that the strictest integrity should govern our conduct toward our fellow beings. Said the divine Teacher, 'Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.'" -The Southern Watchman, May 10, 1904
