I've been thinking about the word integrity lately for 2 reasons. A. because I need a project for integrity and B. just because I've been thinking about what my values are and what they mean to me.
I discovered that Integrity has a hidden word it it.
inteGRITy
GRIT. You have to have GRIT to stand to have inteGRITy.
Grit means unyielding courage in the face of hardship or danger
Integrity means the quality or state of being complete or undivided or firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values

• You have to have grit to act with diligence but it takes integrity to act with endurance.
• You have to have grit to hold to the iron rod but it takes integrity to follow through and partake of the fruit.
• You have to have grit to stand up for what you know is right and it takes integrity to speak out to tell others what you know is wrong!

Integrity is more this more than just being a good person. It's the things you do and the qualities you have. Integrity is about how you act when no one is looking. Choosing the right and acting the right when theirs no one is around. I believe if you have integrity and grit :D then your friends, family, and co-works will see how you act and know that you a person of integrity.

Here are some quotes about integrity:

"There can be no friendship without confidence; and no confidence, without integrity”
-Anonymous

“It's not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong; not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich; not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned; and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.”-Sir Francis Bacon

“Integrity is what we do, what we say, and what we say we do”
-Don Galer

“One of the truest tests of integrity is its blunt refusal to be compromised.”
-Chinqa Archebe

“Integrity is not a conditional word. It doesn't blow in the wind or change with the weather. It is your inner image of yourself, and if you look in there and see a man who won't cheat, then you know he never will.”-John D. MacDonald
