Netiquette IQ Quote of The Day - A Thought on Honesty through Communications


My blog of 2/27 discussed honesty, trust and respect. As I mentioned, "One of the core Netiquette principals is trust and this blog needs more articles such as this." With this in mind, it was a natural consideration for today's Netiquette IQ quote of the day to come from Abraham Lincoln. It is one of his most famous, although it is often wrongfully repeated. Here it is in the correct text, as per Wikipedia.

If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all of the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all of the time; but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. -Speech at Clinton, Illinois, September 8, 1854.”
Abraham Lincoln
