It’s When You Want So Badly To Do Something Wrong—when You’re About To Make A Fortune From A Dishonest Deal, Or Kiss The Lovely Lips Of Your Neighbor’s Wife, Or Tell A Lie To Get Yourself Out Of Terrible Trouble—that’s When You Need The Rules. Your Integrity Is Like A Sword, He Would Say: You Shouldn’t Wave It Until You’re About To Put It To The Test.
