Integrity of the individual is what we're being judged for and if we are not passing that examination, we don't really have the guts, we'll blow ourselves up. It will be all over. I think it's all the difference in the world.

I have to say, I think that we are in some kind of final examination as to whether human beings now, with this capability to acquire information and to communicate, whether we're really qualified to take on the responsibility we're designed to be entrusted with. And this is not a matter of an examination of the types of governments, nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with economic systems. It has to do with the individual. Does the individual have the courage to really go along with the truth?

Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of our own mind.

Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.

If humanity does not opt for integrity we are through completely. It is absolutely touch and go. Each one of us could make the difference.

Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all that we really have. It is the very last inch of us. But within that inch, we are free... An inch; it is small, and it is fragile, and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away; we must never let them take it from us.

The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual's own reason and critical analysis.

...in the end every one stands alone, and the important thing is who it is that stands alone.

We learn that our spirit is not apart from us; it is a part of us. We gain awareness of the exact nature of what is right about us. Our fractured personalities come back together into an integrated whole. Integrity is the state of being fully integrated: Our actions, our thinking, our feelings, our ideals, and our values all match up. It takes a long time for a lot of us to get here, and longer still for us to feel like it’s real. More and more, we are able to bring our behavior into alignment with our values and beliefs rather than our feelings and reactions.

Since every individual is accountable ultimately to the self, the formation of that self demands our utmost care and attention.

Precisely the way on which the species reaches its perfection, every individual human being (one earlier, one later) must have traversed, too.

There's only the integrity of doing and having done.

Our integrity sells for so little, but it is all we really have. It is the very last inch of us, but within that inch, we are free.

The challenge to each human is creation.
