Honest people don't show up in the world too often.

Explanation:

Hamlet says: "To be honest, as this world goes, is to be one man picked out of ten thousand" what he means is that it is very difficult to find honest people in this world beause there aren't many, as a result, the most accurate way of saying this is that "Honest people don't show up in the world too often".

Moreover, he uses the expression "one man picked out of ten thousand"; nowadays we would say "one in a million" to state that something is very hard to find. It is important to bear in mind that there is "ONE" in the million, so honest people don't show up very often, but maybe someday you may find one.

A. It is very rare to be an honest person in this world.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
