S.Leonard Rubenstein, on the skill of honesty:Intention is not enough. The honest man suspects himself always. He knows honesty is a skill that must be exercised always. Most of us want to be honest, few know how. All men know their reactions; few men can identify what they are reacting to. The skill of honesty is to hold one's reaction at bay in order to discover what is causing it. The skill is difficult.

　　S.伦纳德＊鲁宾斯坦谈如何诚实处世：光有诚实的愿望是不够的。诚实的人总怀疑自己。他们懂得诚实处世是一种技巧，必须反复练习才能熟练掌握。大多数的人都很想做到诚实处世，但是知道怎样去做的人并不多。所有的人都会对事物作出反应，但是对他们作出反应的事物能够识别的却不多。诚实处世的技巧在于，在弄清事物的性质之前不要急于作出反应。这是个很难掌握的技巧。
