Quote by Oliver Cromwell

Subtlety may deceive you; integrity never will.

Subtlety may deceive you; integrity never will.

Summary

This quote suggests that while subtlety can be deceiving and manipulative, integrity is always honest and genuine. It implies that one should not be easily fooled by appearances or empty gestures, as they can be misleading. Instead, one should look for integrity in others and strive to embody integrity themselves. Integrity is a quality that can be trusted and relied upon, as it reflects a person's true character and ethical principles. In contrast, subtlety may be used as a disguise or a tactic to achieve personal gains at the expense of others.
