Dr. Seuss? 

21 

Showing partiality is never good,
     yet some will do wrong for a mere piece of bread.

22 

Greedy people try to get rich quick
     but don’t realize they’re headed for poverty.

23 

In the end, people appreciate honest criticism
     far more than flattery.

A friend recently told me that we shouldn’t dwell on bad

things that have happened to us in the past. Rather, we should

look at the present and recognize those things God has done for

us for which we can be thankful.

We know we should not show partiality nor take a

bribe. However, once we take a bribe, even a very small bribe,

our integrity and our soul has been damaged so that it will be

easier in the future to take another bribe.

Chasing after money always has bad result. We need to

chase after God’s purpose for our lives.

Flattery only wins you points with a gullible person. You

will be respected if you “meant what you said and said what you

meant (an elephant is truthful, 100%).” 

from Horton Hatches a Who by Dr. Seuss.

Let me ask you: Do you try to influence others by telling

them what they need to hear or what they want to hear?
