Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that in order to bring about a change in attitudes or beliefs, one must first focus on changing one's behavior. It suggests that rather than trying to convince or persuade others solely through words or arguments, altering one's own actions and setting an example can have a more significant impact. By demonstrating different behavior, individuals can challenge existing beliefs and perspectives, leading others to question their own attitudes and potentially prompting a shift in mindset. Actions, therefore, hold the power to instigate change at a fundamental level.

You know, at the end of the day, the only thing you have is trust and honor in this world. That's all you have. All you have is your reputation built on trust and your personal honor. When you don't have that anymore, well, you know, there you go. Trust was broken.

This is what I asked for, and in this day and age that's what actually goes on.
