Ya.. that is true but only for the personal satisfaction but not for success. LOL. You can't show me a total honest person who is successful in the society.
Nice – and useful – collection of quotes here. I’m sure I’ll be using these quotes a lot.
I totally agree. We should be as honest as possible. These are great quotes you have here.
As what they say, “the truth will set you free”. Telling the truth i a great feeling. Rather than living with lies and fallacy, you feel guilty with yourself and carrying that conscience in your heart. Thanks for sharing those nice quotes!
I love the quote by Mark Twain that said tell the truth so you don’t have to remember anything. This is sooo true. When you start to lie it becomes like a job and usually takes more lies to keep the first lie safe. Thanks for sharing these.
