Honesty

Honesty conduces to material prosperity not to mention spiritual prosperity

"The best capital and the most profitable business is honesty in all things. Do thou continue to be honest in thy dealings for one month. Thou wilt see in the end that thou art honored and respected by all thy customers, and not considering thy spiritual welfare, thy material prosperity will be secured."

(Attributed to 'Abdu'l-Bahá, from the Diary of Mirza Ahmad Sohrab, October 17, 1914; in Star of the West, volume 8, issue 2, p. 25)
