Honesty

“Honesty is the best policy…when there is money in it.” this statement focuses on honesty. I don't really get what the person who said this meant by it. I think what he is trying to say is that honesty is something people can all do but only if they get money in return for their honesty. Honesty is something big to earn and not a lot of people learn how to earn it. If you give someone money in return of their honesty they will take the money and maybe be honest with you. Money moves a person to do something and its something that a lot of people find important.
