Honesty is the best policy
This proverb is first found in the writings of Sir Edwin Sandys. However, the phrase honesty is the best policy is often connected to Benjamin Franklin, an American statesman who lived in the 1700s. But the origin of the phrase as per some sources trace back to the early 17th century and especially to European Speculum (1605) by English politician Sir Edwin Sandys.
