Honesty is a good proverb

 Honesty is a good thing, but it is not profitable to its possessor unless it is kept under control.
  Don Marquis

 Honesty is for the most part less profitable than dishonesty.
  Plato

It's a big plus that you're taking about a company that has 45 percent operating margins and investors can actually see real earnings.

 Most people dislike vanity in others, whatever share they have of it themselves; but I give it fair quarter, wherever I meet with it, being persuaded that it is often productive of good to the possessor, and to others who are within his sphere of act
  Benjamin Franklin

 [But many of its offices - in Jakarta, Stockholm, Melbourne, St. Petersburg, Brussels, Bangkok, Sydney and dozens of other cities - were not particularly profitable. Some lost money.] It's very hard to run an organization if you have too many satellite offices, ... We had a lot of profitable ones, but it didn't add up to a good total.

 Honesty is the rarest wealth anyone can possess, and yet all the honesty in the world ain't lawful tender for a loaf of bread.
  Josh Billings

  Walter Lippmann
