This is me giving myself advice. I mean for this to go along with my last blog.
Truth is the most valuable thing we have, so I try to conserve it.
Mark Twain
“Gossip needn't be false to be evil - there's a lot of truth that shouldn't be passed around.”
Frank A. Clark
If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.
Mark Twain
"Gossip and slander are not victimless crimes. Words do not just dissipate into midair. . . . Words can injure and damage, maim and destroy - forcefully, painfully, lastingly. . . . Plans have been disrupted, deals have been lost, companies have fallen, because of idle gossip or malicious slander. Reputations have been sullied, careers have been ruined, lives have been devastated, because of cruel lies or vicious rumors. . . . Your words have such power to do good or evil that they must be chosen carefully, wisely, and well."
Wayne Dosick
A half truth is a whole lie.
Yiddish Proverb
"I will follow my logic, no matter where it goes, after it has consulted with my heart. If you ever come to a conclusion without calling the heart in, you will come to a bad conclusion."
Robert Ingersoll
Reality is bad enough. Why should I tell the truth?
Patrick Sky
Speak the truth, but leave immediately after.
Slovenian Proverb
"A more peaceful way to live is to decide consciously which battles are worth fighting and which are better left alone. . . . Is it really important . . . that you confront someone simply because . . . he or she has made a minor mistake? . . . Does a small scratch on your car really warrant a suit in small claims court? . . . These and thousands of other small things are what many people spend their lives fighting about. . . . If you don't want to 'sweat the small stuff,' it's critical that you choose your battles wisely."
Richard Carlson
The cruelest lies are often told in silence.
Adlai Stevenson
"Wink at small faults; remember thou hast great ones."
Benjamin Franklin
Today I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true.
Robert Brault
A little candor never leaves me. It is what protects me.
Antonio Porchia
Respect for the truth is an acquired taste.
Mark Van Doren
People who are brutally honest get more satisfaction out of the brutality than out of the honesty.
Richard J. Needham
There are only two ways of telling the complete truth - anonymously and posthumously. Thomas Sowell
“The only gossip I'm interested in is things from the Weekly World News - 'Woman's bra bursts, 11 injured'. That kind of thing.”
Johnny Depp
