An inspiring quote from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn on ethics:
The main thing is never to act against your conscience, not to put your signature on documents you do not believe in, not to vote for those who you think should not be elected, not to approve decisions, not to applaud, not to pass on lies… not to pretend. Let your creed be ‘Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph, but not through me.’
Back in Grade 11 English, I had to choose an author and read several of their books, and then do some kind of essay on their major themes and style. I chose Solzhenitsyn because I was fascinated with the Soviet Union.
Good advice to people in business: Don’t put your signature on documents you don’t believe in [electronic or otherwise]!
