Principles are professed or accepted rules of action or conduct like a person of good moral principles. It is a fundamental doctrine. A personal and specific basis of conduct. A person of principle is one with a guiding sense of the requirements and obligations of right conduct. As I have said before, if you are not kind , you can't have empathy.  If you don't have principles, how to be honest?  If you are not grateful, can you have humility?
