Dan Ariely
Israeli Economist
In a world where everyone is behaving honestly, any dishonesty constitutes a big infraction. But, in a world where many people are behaving dishonestly, and the news is filled with stories of their infractions, even big infractions can feel small to the perpetrator.
Quote examples
Joseph Howe
Canadian Politician

Jeremy Bentham
