Truth

"The truth that is suppressed by friends is the readiest weapon of the enemy."

"I'm sorry Elena. I know that you want to help, but put yourself in her shoes, everything that happened tonight was to save you and that's OK because she loves you so much. But somehow she's always the one who gets hurt."

"Being honest in a relationship is at times exceedingly difficult and painful. Yet the moment a person evades the truth, central fibers of the self pull away and the person initiates a process of deception - a way of manipulating the other person by preventing the person from discovering "real thoughts and real feelings"

"I am in revolt against the age-old lie that the majority is always right."

"What is true is already so. Owning up to it doesn't make it worse. Not being open about it doesn't make it go away. And because it's true, it is what is there to be interacted with. Anything untrue isn't there to be lived. People can stand what is true, for they are already enduring it."

"Know that diamonds and roses are as uncomfortable when they tumble from one's lips as toads and frogs: colder, too, and sharper, and they cut."

"Don't forget this, too: Rumors aren't interested in the unsensational story; rumors don't care what's true."

"Its not how strong you are, its how firm your footing is."

"When an uninstructed multitude attempts to see with its eyes, it is exceedingly apt to be deceived. When, however, it forms its judgment, as it usually does, on the intuitions of its great and warm heart, the conclusions thus attained are often so profound and so unerring as to possess the character of truth supernaturally revealed."

"I tell you the truth, a man may not make himself king; only the blessing of him who holds the kingship can elevate a man to that high place. For sovereignty is a sacred trust that may not be bartered or sold; still less may it be stolen or taken by force."

"Things difficult - almost to impossibility - can always be accomplished. Write that upon your tablets, for it is a valuable truth."

"The cold rationalism simply covers for raw, wounded emotion. The more driven people are by the mind, the more they feel and further encode their feelings. The thickness of the tarpaulin cover is as the size of the emotion."

"My life is my testimony."

"What seems real one moment is fiction the nextand gone out of existence the moment after that. Nostalgia is the greatest enemy of truth,and change our only constancy."

"Never confuse a hunger for knowledge with a thirst for truth."
