Honor and Wealth; Integrity and Success
T. B. Gordon had plenty to say on the subject of truth, honesty, and corrupt practices in society.
He often penned an editorial for The Eagle (El Dorado, Union County, Arkansas).
Speak truth and act honestly under all circumstances - these concepts drove his choices, his decisions. Never would he say, "Make money honestly, if you can, but if you cannot make it honestly, make it anyhow." He taught, "Riches acquired at the sacrifice of truth or honesty were a disgraceful curse."
Those persons involved in the calling of education are seldom thus engaged for the purpose of accumulating wealth.
