“Honesty is the corner stone of character. The honest man or woman seek no merely to avoid criminal or illegal acts, but to be scrupulously fair, upright, fearless I both action and expression, honesty pays dividends both in dollars and in peace of mind.”

-B.C. Forbes

What I think that this statement mean is that if there is honesty there is everything. They will speak up because everything is put and there are no worries.
