More From Thomas Merton

The black hole in democracy is integrity. the great unspoken is integrity. when integrity is not first and foremost, it's quite palpable but not visible. it's always there. jazz highlights it because musicians and jazz always represented a high level of integrity.
Integrity Black Democracy
Integrity is at the heart of commerce in the world in which we live. honesty and integrity comprise the very underpinnings of society.....indeed, the strength and safety of any organization-including the family-lie in the integrity of its members. without personal integrity, there can be no confidence. without confidence, there can be no prospect of permanent success.
Honesty Lying Integrity
There is within each of us a modulation, an inner exaltation, which lifts us above the buffetings with which events assail us. likewise, it lifts us above dependence upon the gifts of events for our joy.
Joy Exaltation Events
Although we tend to think about saints as holy and pious, and picture them with halos above their heads and ecstatic gazes, true saints are much more accessible. they are men and women like us, who live ordinary lives and struggle with ordinary problems. what makes them saints is their clear and unwavering focus on god and god's people.
Struggle Men Thinking
In order to be a leader a man must have followers. and to have followers, a man must have their confidence. hence, the supreme quality for a leader is unquestionably integrity. without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office. if a man's associates find him guilty of being phony, if they find that he lacks forthright integrity, he will fail. his teachings and actions must square with each other. the first great need, therefore, is integrity and high purpose.
