The best friend of prosperity is veracity. The worst foe of prosperity is mendacity. Veracity is the fond child of conscience. Mendacity is the spoilt child of nescience. The journey of the first child will end only when it sees the face of a perpetual creation. The journey of the second will cease only when it sees the face of an utter destruction.
Chinmoy, Chandelier, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, 1959
