Honesty is the most overrated way to be good. It's not even close to the same thing. There are a lot of situations where it's better to lie! [...] I'm not...so good at lying. My mom always taught me not to. But in a lot of situations it's impossible to do the right thing and tell the truth.
Though I would say being nice isn't necessarily the best way to be good, either. It works for some people, though.
