"Honesty is the cornerstone of character. The honest man or woman seeks not merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, and fearless in both action and expression. Honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind."-B.C Forbes

My interpretation of the quote's significance is: The quote is attempting to convey the importance of the implementation of honesty within the life of an individual. Honesty is considered the best quality by numerous individuals, honesty is important within the study of ethics and moral character. An aspect that i have found interesting is the compensation aspect, the segment of the quote truly provides us with an illustration of the importance of honesty within our lives and the benefits it can presents us with. Honesty can reward the individual financially or morally depending on the situation, suppose an individual describes a crime scene after he had described the scene he was financially compensated. Now suppose an individual was honest while conversing with his friend, this individual's honesty had prevented his friend from committing an illegal action, so therefore the individual was compensated with the reward of the "peace of mind" or serenity. The rewards gained through the implementation of honesty can allow you to live a peaceful life.

"You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it right." Rosa Parks
I agree with this statement, we as individuals must never fear an activity that is a correct activity that benefits yourself and/or others. The fear we experience when you are commiting an unjust action is overwhelming, the feeling subsides and manifests as guilt, leading to anxiety and a combination of other emotions. Rosa Parks was an african american activist who fought for the civil rights of african american individuals, i believe she never feared the authorities because she knew she was serving a just cause. We are taught to never commit an unjust action, but when we do we begin to experience fear due to the complications that will arise from the problem. When we commit a correct action we feel full of sincerity and therefore we are assured of the beneficial action we are participating in.
