Dr. Seuss?

Showing partiality is never good,
yet some will do wrong for a mere piece of bread.

Greedy people try to get rich quick
but don’t realize they’re headed for poverty.

In the end, people appreciate honest criticism
far more than flattery.
A friend recently told me that we shouldn’t dwell on bad
things that have happened to us in the past. Rather, we should
look at the present and recognize those things God has done for
us for which we can be thankful.
We know we should not show partiality nor take a
bribe. However, once we take a bribe, even a very small bribe,
our integrity and our soul has been damaged so that it will be
easier in the future to take another bribe.
Chasing after money always has bad result. We need to
chase after God’s purpose for our lives.
Flattery only wins you points with a gullible person. You
will be respected if you “meant what you said and said what you
meant (an elephant is truthful, 100%).”
from Horton Hatches a Who by Dr. Seuss.
Let me ask you: Do you try to influence others by telling
them what they need to hear or what they want to hear?
