Honesty refers to a facet of moral character and connotes positive and virtuous attributes such as integrity, truthfulness, and straightforwardness, including straightforwardness of conduct, along with the absence of lying, cheating, theft, etc. Furthermore, honesty means being trustworthy, loyal, fair, and sincere.
Honesty is valued in many ethnic and religious cultures.
"Honesty is the best policy" is a proverb of Benjamin Franklin; however, the quote "Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom" is attributed to Thomas Jefferson, as used in a letter to Nathaniel Macon.
Others have noted, however, that "[t]oo much honesty might be seen as undisciplined openness". For example, individuals may be perceived as being "too honest" if they honestly express negative opinions of others, either without having been asked their opinion, or having been asked in a circumstance where the response would be trivial.
The Latin name Lunaria means "moon-like" and refers to the decorative seedpods.
They have hairy toothed leaves and terminal racemes of white or violet flowers in Spring and Summer, followed by prominent, translucent, disc-shaped seedpods, which are frequently seen in flower arrangements.
"Honesty (Write Me a List)" is a song written by Patience Clemens and David Kent, and recorded by American country music artist Rodney Atkins. It was released in June 2003 as the third single from the album Honesty. This song was Atkins' fourth chart single, peaking at number 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart in 2004, giving Atkins his first Top 10 single. It also reached number 57 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, making it a minor crossover hit.
Background and writing
According to an interview, the events of the song were based on true events that happened during co-writer Patience Clemens' separation. She co-wrote it with David Kent, a friend of Atkins who told him about the song.

The song is a mid-tempo ballad mostly accompanied by piano. It centralizes around a couple who is about to divorce. In the beginning of the song, they are at a restaurant and the man asks the woman to write down a list of what she wants (in other words, the physical belongings owned by the couple). Instead of listing objects, however, she writes down what she wants from the man: "honesty, sincerity, tenderness and trust."
