1．Honesty is the best character in life forever. —Gorky 诚实永远是人生最美好的品格。 ——高尔基 2．Keeping his promise is more important than guarding his property. —Moliere 一个人信守诺言比守护他的财产更重要。 ——莫里哀 3．Honesty is better than all the ingenuity，and it is the basic condition of ingenuity. —Kant 诚实比一切智谋要好，而且它是智谋的基本条件。 ——康德 Having the reputation of being honest and reliable will make other people trust you，which will provide you many benefits and give you opportunities that others may not get.Being honest，you will find it easier to cooperate with others and people will be friendly to you and support you.In a sense，if life is a long journey，honesty will be the backpack that you should take along all the way. On Responsibility We Chinese place a high value on responsibility.It is a traditional deal for us Chinese to take care of our parents.We owe them a great deal for the love they give us while we are growing up.It is right that when they are getting older with each passing day，we help them and see that they are well cared for.In this way，we give back some of the love and care they have given us. As a loyal Chinese citizen，we must have a strong sense of responsibility to our country.It is our duty to keep China strong in the eyes of the world.Therefore，we should study and work hard for China's strongness which also depends on the advanced science and technology.We must be willing to join the army and defend our country，or we would be threatened by invaders.In short，to be responsible citizens，we must put our national interest above our own needs. Finally，we must remember that we are responsible for the world we live in.It is important that we learn to live in peace with the other nations of the world and to protect our environment.If we carry out these responsibilities，we will be respected citizens of our country.
