Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless,
and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.
- Samuel Johnson
"Integrity without

Integrity means not taking advantage of these opportunities and being honest towards yourself and others. Without any integrity, most people would copy other people's work and be dishonest. Since most students show integrity, cheating is not as big of a problem as it could be, but there are some students who thrive on cheating. If all students had integrity, many more would be successful.

The quote tells people that it is best to behave and act as they always have. People should not do things that do not allow them to be true to themselves. Kids constantly do stupid and irrational things around their friends, but when they are by themselves they usually act using their inner-selves as a guide. People with common sense do things that they know are right. If people complete tasks and sacrifice less of themselves, they can improve their integrity.
