How do you define integrity?

Posted on Jan 7th, 2008 by C.G. : Sacred Vow C.G.
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 07, 2008:

This above all: to thine own self be true; And it must follow, as the night the day; Thou canst not then be false to any man.
William Shakespeare, 'Hamlet,' Act I, Scene iii

There is also, the implied implication to attempt convey to others, accurately, what is one's true self, then remain constant to that definition for as long as it is true.

I'm with Zephyr - the Shakespeare quote is a perfect definition.

Thank you, Kim and Zephyr.
I love my Shakespeare…..
It just crossed my mind that with integrity,as all things, one must first practice it with oneself in order to be able to practice 'without'

As within, so without…

love and a glorious day, my friends…

hello John, Cara, and Bridget….thanks for visiting, dear friends…sorry I missed you all.
  Yes, Billy makes magic with words. Sometimes I listen to the rhythm of a well performed play, just for a pick me up.
blessings and joy, my friends,
