Character Revealed in Conduct

Character is the governor of our outward expression; we may fence ourselves about with worldly prudence, but the real man will show itself in spite of us. Let a man cherish dishonesty in his heart, and his dishonesty will, somehow or other, find expression in his life; if not in stealing, then in meanness; if not in large frauds, then in sixpenny cheatings. We may disguise it from others, and even from ourselves, for a season; but sooner or later it will appear that we are just what our principles made us.
