when "it" comes, what do you do ? The truth, of course, is that a billion falsehoods told a billion times by a billion people are still false. - Travis Walton, Fire in the Sky Most do not fully see this truth that life is difficult. Instead they moan more or less incessantly, noisily or subtly, about the enormity of their problems, their burdens, and their difficulties as if life were generally easy, as if life should be easy. They voice their belief, noisily or subtly, that their difficulties represent a unique kind of affliction that should not be and that has somehow been especially visited upon them, or else upon their families, their tribe, their class, their nation, their race or even their species, and not upon others. - M. Scott Peck, The Road Less Traveled We feel the urge to tell the truth as we see it. But we should try to accomplish this without judgemental condemnations that hurt others. Again, when we remember that what we perceive in another is a reflection of ourselves, we become less judgemental. So when we freely express harsh judgement of another, we are in effect talking about those aspects of ourselves that trouble us the most. - Shirley MacLaine, Going Within We cannot waste time. We can only waste ourselves. - George Matthew Adams Truth can be a dangerous thing. It is quite patient and relentless. - R. Scott Richards It takes two to speak truth --One to speak, and another to hear. - Henry David Thoreau Chase after the truth like all hell and you'll free yourself, even though you never touch its coattails. - Clarence Darrow Nothing that was worthy in the past departs; no truth or goodness realized by man ever dies, or can die. - Thomas Carlyle There are few nudities so objectionable as the naked truth. - Agnes Repplier Say not, 'I have found the truth,' but rather, 'I have found a truth.' - Kahlil Gibran To the extent that you entertain lies and deceit, you are held prisoner in a world cut off from reality. The truth you hide from yourself, prevents you from growth and fulfillment. The truth you hide from others, keeps you distantly apart. The truth shines a bright light on life, so you can clearly see the way to go. Success, achievement, happiness, joy, fellowship, and fulfillment, thrive in the warm and nurturing light of the truth. Honesty is the most direct path to wherever you want to go. Truth and honesty are often difficult, yet never more difficult, in the end, than deceit. To think otherwise, is to deceive even yourself. Hiding in the shadows of falsehood, makes it impossible to move forward.That the truth is moral and ethical, is no secret. Yet truth is also practical, efficient, and effective in every worthy pursuit, something well known by those who enjoy lasting success. Live in the bright, empowering light. Embrace the truth. It always serves you best. - Ralph Marston Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinion of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth. - Katherine Mansfield As scarce as truth is, the supply has always exceeded the demand. - Anonymous |
