English term or phrase: begin
Bin eigentlich kein Englisch-Spezialist und insofern nicht ganz sicher, was hier mit "begin" gemeint ist...wer kann mir helfen? Danke!

You cannot trust a man with your money who cannot take care of his own. You cannot trust a man in your family that is not true to his wife. *You cannot trust a man in the world that does not begin with his own heart, his own character, and his own life.*
