Integrity demands that you are STRAIGHT WITH YOURSELF. Sometimes it’s the toughest thing you’ll ever have to do… but it’s the foundation of a joyous life, self-expression, power… everything. You don’t say ‘yes’ to please people, or because it’s the right thing to say, or because it makes you “look good”. The foundation of self-confidence is living in accordance with your values. As long as you know you’re doing the right thing, the world can collapse around you and you’ll maintain peace of mind, calm and confidence. Integrity is vital to high self-confidence. It is an essential value to have, and it is more than a value as it ensures that all your other values are respected and lived in line with. You can’t have a little bit of integrity, you can’t put it aside when it’s not convenient. From the moment you’ve selected your values, you will never compromise them. This is the measure of your quality as a human being. As long as deep down you know you’ll never violate your values you can be in control and self-confident. Honesty involves not only telling the truth but living truthfully. When we fake an emotion or pretend to like something we dislike, we lower our self-respect . When we lie, we are giving ourselves the message that the truth is something to be ashamed of. If we pretend or live falsely in any way, we are rejecting our true selves and this creates a negative self-concept that we’ll find reflected in the attitudes of others toward us.....

I could be wrong but I believe Integrity was the name of Abe Lincoln's cat.

integrity is doing the right thing always... even if no one is around to watch you do it.
