Hi,
"Reish Lakish said (based on a verse, Tzefaniah 2:1): First improve [lit. decorate] your own actions, then worry about improving the actions of others."
(Talmud, Bava Metzia 107b)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

Honesty
Hi,
"The prophet Tzefanyah said (Tzefaniah 3:13), ‘The remnant of Israel will not perform corrupt acts and will not speak falsehood, and misleading language will not be found in their mouths.’
"Therefore: If one has a son or daughter, one may not say, ‘They wanted to give me a great sum for my daughter to marry so-and-so,’ or, ‘They wanted to give me a great sum for my son to marry so-and-so,’ or, ‘They wanted to give me a great sum for my merchandise,’ when such had never occurred."
(Sefer Chasidim 338)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
