Honest, maybe. You can't always be nice when you're honest. Stubborn is both good and bad, but being stubborn about the right things can keep people safe or help them sometimes.
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.
