Ethical dilemmas have a way of sneaking up on a person. If something smells funny, stay away from it. Or help get rid of it.
More Quotes from Price Pritchett:
The legal system doesn't always serve as a good guide for your conscience. You can step way over the ethical line and still be inside the law. The same thing goes for rules, policies and procedures you know, the organization's 'internal laws.' You can 'go by the book' and still behave unethically. Still not move beyond mediocrity. High standardsthe ethics of excellencecome to life through your basic values, your character, integrity and honesty. Obeying the law is the bare minimum.Price Pritchett
Your ethical muscle grows stronger every time you choose right over wrong.

But when we get enough people who don't care, and who don't accept personal responsibility for high ethical standards, our organization gets the 'M' disease. Mediocrity. Anybody in the place can be a carrier. By the same token, every individual can carry the cure the ethics of excellence.
Price Pritchett
High standards leave no room for mushy morals.

How can we be trusted with big things if we're not trustworthy with things that are small Don't allow your finer instincts to become a casualty of the little everyday crimes of ethical compromise.
Price Pritchett
Pay attention to the voice within.... Sometimes the voice of your conscience gets drowned out by crowd noise or by the pep rally of temptations. And your mind may put some selfish spin on the ball, rationalizing that it's okay to veer away from the ethical route. When we run into conflicts between ethical 'shoulds' and our selfish 'wants,' we all argure out ways to con our conscience. But take pains to listen, because it has your best interests at heart.
