Do not marvel brothers if the world hates you, the world rejected and rebelled against God and His truth. ~ Auliq Ice
Truth Telling quotes by Auliq Ice
The truth shouldn't be told only when it's convenient. Honesty must be a way of life. ~ Frank Sonnenberg
Truth Telling quotes by Frank Sonnenberg
Reporters also tend to love trials. It may be that we are transfixed by a process in which the person being asked a question actually has to answer it. He cannot say he would rather not comment. He cannot tell an anecdote on a different subject. He has to answer the question - under oath that he is telling the truth. ~ Calvin Trillin
Truth Telling quotes by Calvin Trillin
The time has come for women and men to band together to jointly create gender harmony. We must gather in mixed group to plumb new depths of relational awareness, courageous truth-telling, compassionate listening, empathic sensitivity, and mutual healing. ~ William Keepin
Truth Telling quotes by William Keepin
The duty of youth is to challenge corruption. ~ Kurt Cobain
Truth Telling quotes by Kurt Cobain
I am accountable for every lie that I tell, but I am also accountable for the effects of every harsh truth I deliver. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich
Truth Telling quotes by Richelle E. Goodrich
I'm not very eloquent about things like this, but I think that writing and photography go together. I don't mean that they are related arts, because they're not. But the person doing it, I think, learns from both things about accuracy of the eye, about observation, and about sympathy toward what is in front of you ... It's about honesty, or truth telling, and a way to find it in yourself, how to need it and learn from it. ~ Eudora Welty
Truth Telling quotes by Eudora Welty
But now the train had finally begun to move, and Albie had switched the fearless truth-telling eye of his camera lens from his untied laces to the walls of the tunnels under east London, because you can never have enough pictures of dirty concrete. ~ David Nicholls
Truth Telling quotes by David Nicholls
Inconvenient truth always hurts but its there and there is no escaping ~ Sipendr
Truth Telling quotes by Sipendr
The problem in today's society is that the truth is in short supply and people love soft lies more than hard truths ~ Rassool Jibraeel Snyman
Truth Telling quotes by Rassool Jibraeel Snyman
The English are polite by telling lies. The Americans are polite by telling the truth. ~ Malcolm Bradbury
Truth Telling quotes by Malcolm Bradbury
The odds of telling the truth may set you free when the odds of telling a lie are against you. ~ Cory Stallworth
Truth Telling quotes by Cory Stallworth
If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero
Truth Telling quotes by Marcus Tullius Cicero
One sincere truth from a stranger is more likely to move your life forward...than anything your friends and family may tell you to spare your feelings. ~ Anthon St. Maarten
Truth Telling quotes by Anthon St. Maarten
The heart of justice is truth telling, seeing ourselves and the world the way it is rather than the way we want to be. ~ Bell Hooks
Truth Telling quotes by Bell Hooks
My personal experience
people spoil there health in order to make money
then they
spend that money in order to recover their health
lives as if he is not going to die ever.. ~ Palash
Truth Telling quotes by Palash
What does it mean to be Indigenous and to have ties to the person of Jesus without being tied to the destructive, colonizing institution of the church? It is a constant decolonizing. It is a constant longing for interaction with others who, following the Universal Christ, as Richard Rohr calls it, can take on the hope of a decolonizing faith. It is sharing space with Black people, Indigenous people, and other people of color, and letting our experiences shape each other. It means interacting with my white friends, having really difficult conversations, and facing my own privilege in that conversation as well. Deconstruction and decolonization can be partners, along with grief and truth-telling. May we learn from this community that we are called to the bigger work ahead of us, so that, together, we know what it means to return to Mystery that has always wanted all of us. May we do this work together so that, each day that we move on, we are building a future that is made for everyone. ~ Kaitlin B. Curtice
Truth Telling quotes by Kaitlin B. Curtice
The slight, the facile and the merely self-glorifying tend to drop away over the centuries, and what we are left with is the bedrock: Homer and Milton, the Greek tragedian and Shakespeare, Chaucer and Cervantes and Swift, Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy and James and Conrad. Time does not make their voices fainter, on the contrary, it reinforces our sense of their truth-telling capacity. ~ Wendy Lesser
Truth Telling quotes by Wendy Lesser
Without debate, without criticism no administration and no country can succeed and no republic can survive. ~ John F. Kennedy
Truth Telling quotes by John F. Kennedy
I can't establish the veracity of what people say because only they know whether they are telling the truth. I can't look into your mind, can I? ~ David Tang
Truth Telling quotes by David Tang
Some people should never be told truth. Their stomachs are not mature enough for that type of food ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Truth Telling quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
You'd be surprised at how many of us want justice in this case," says Uncle Carlos. "But of course, classic Maverick. Every cop is automatically a bad cop. ~ Angie Thomas
Truth Telling quotes by Angie Thomas
Living with integrity means: Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. Asking for what you want and need from others. Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe. ~ Barbara De Angelis
Truth Telling quotes by Barbara De Angelis
Harris: Yes. In fact, self-deception might have paid evolutionary dividends in other ways. Robert Trivers argues, for instance, that people who can believe their own lies turn out to be the best liars of all - and an ability to deceive rivals has obvious advantages in the state of nature. Now, clearly many things may have been adaptive for our ancestors - such as tribal warfare, rape, xenophobia - that we now deem unethical and would never want to defend. But I'm wondering if you see any possibility that a social system that maximizes truth-telling could be one that fails to maximize the well-being of all participants. Is it possible that some measure of deception is good for us? ~ Sam Harris
Truth Telling quotes by Sam Harris
Maybe I am a coward. In facts, it is much better than open my big mouth and say useless things. ~ Shim Steward
Truth Telling quotes by Shim Steward
Seek the truth. Tell the truth. Live in truth. ~ Isaiah Washington
Truth Telling quotes by Isaiah Washington
It has always been desirable to tell the truth, but seldom if ever necessary. ~ Arthur Balfour
Truth Telling quotes by Arthur Balfour
Public truth telling is a form of recovery, especially when combined with social action. Sharing traumatic experiences with others enables victims to reconstruct repressed memory, mourn loss, and master helplessness, which is trauma's essential insult. And, by facilitating reconnection to ordinary life, the public testimony helps survivors restore basic trust in a just world and overcome feelings of isolation. But the talking cure is predicated on the existence of a community willing to bear witness. 'Recovery can take place only within the context of relationships,' write Judith Herman. 'It cannot occur in isolation. ~ Lawrence N. Powell
Truth Telling quotes by Lawrence N. Powell
No man means all he says, and yet very few say all they mean, for words are slippery and thought is viscous. ~ Henry Adams
Truth Telling quotes by Henry Adams
Liars don't lie to those who are innocent, they lie to those who know the truth ~ Aireen C. Pontillo
Truth Telling quotes by Aireen C. Pontillo
A human being who trades away individuality for conformity is nothing but a slave. ~ Auliq Ice
Truth Telling quotes by Auliq Ice
The pen had been mightier than the sword but then the tongue took over. ~ Amit Abraham
Truth Telling quotes by Amit Abraham
People think the blues is sad. They hear people moaning and such. That's not the blues. That's just somebody singing slow ... The blues is about truth-telling. ~ Alberta Hunter
Truth Telling quotes by Alberta Hunter
Words are not cubicles for truth telling. Words do not allow us to touch the face of God or define the contours of the soul. Words are imprecise and cannot capture all aspects of reality or replicate all facets of a person's emotional mélange. Language allows for limited explorations of reality and minimal probing of the human mind. I accept that the only possible relation between language and the world is the image displayed in each person's head by the picture invoking ability of language. Select word pictures might accurately portray what I perceive and still be vague, blatantly inaccurate, completely meaningless, misleading, distorted, or incomprehensible in other persons' minds. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Truth Telling quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
Everybody doesn't need to know everything about you. ~ Germany Kent
Truth Telling quotes by Germany Kent
You're a dick," Ellison said. "Or, is it just that you suck it?"

Aaron knew by the stillness in the room that everyone was awaiting Tony's response.

"Both," Tony agreed lightly. "And if you actually had one you might be in trouble, sailor. ~ Terra Laurent
Truth Telling quotes by Terra Laurent
In a room where
people unanimously maintain
a conspiracy of silence,
one word of truth
sounds like a pistol shot. ~ Czeslaw Milosz
Truth Telling quotes by Czeslaw Milosz
I don't care what you meant to do. I really don't.
I only care about what you actually do. That's important. The rest of it is just a bunch of bull shit.
--- Grace. ~ Christian Kiefer
Truth Telling quotes by Christian Kiefer
The sooner the jihadis go up to their imagined #heaven, the sooner our earth would be a heaven. ~ Fakeer Ishavardas
Truth Telling quotes by Fakeer Ishavardas
If we don't acknowledge the truth in our relationships, they simply become a state of isolation with somebody (some body) still around. ~ Dragos Bratasanu
Truth Telling quotes by Dragos Bratasanu
No one tells the truth to people they don't actually know, and if they do it is a horrible trait. Everyone wants something smaller, something neater than the truth. ~ Ann Patchett
Truth Telling quotes by Ann Patchett
Truth is an ideal we aspire to. Fact is an agreement on the general consensus of what truth is. Honesty is a personal truth shared. ~ Stewart Stafford
Truth Telling quotes by Stewart Stafford
We are learning that through striving for justice, tears and laughter, seem more dynamic and shared as each step is taken with communal courage together. Record a legacy, they truly lived, not once stepped back on the path that beckoned. I am proud of my partner, of my family, of our friends. We have learned to value the quiet patience of gentle support both, unspoken and felt, heard and embraced. And if we seem cryptic in message at times, we wish to lift to the world the cause as artists, using the language of our nature and craft, to address the twisted currents of current laws and corruption, where ears are dulled from light by agendas, that the beauty of Art may be expressed in the reclaiming of itself, from the wreckage of the court system mired with soiled attorney and tainted judge. Colors to where there is grey, to lift the hues cast in cast iron graves, stamped Summary Judgement, with no judgement applied. So together we formulate, and forge what is possible, while tear stains cheek, falling upon lighted smile, in thought of our loved ones, that keeps our current path clear. ~ Tom Althouse
Truth Telling quotes by Tom Althouse
No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots. ~ Barbara Ehrenreich
Truth Telling quotes by Barbara Ehrenreich
When you're dealing with your life, my God, you gotta tell the truth. ~ Elaine Stritch
Truth Telling quotes by Elaine Stritch
Father taught me to like wht he called 'discussion', she recalled. Margaret Thatcher never repudiated the Methodism of her childhood, with its reverence for truth-telling, hard work and puting into practice the teachings of Scripture. page 6 ~ Charles Moore
Truth Telling quotes by Charles Moore
Truth-telling to Congress and the public is not disloyal in America: it is an expression of the higher loyalty officials owe to the Constitution, the rule of law, and the sovereign public. It is a courageous, patriotic, and effective way to serve our country. The time to speak out is now. ~ Daniel Ellsberg
Truth Telling quotes by Daniel Ellsberg
A woman in love with another woman is revolution's revolution: it is not an act of war. it is not an act of desperation. it is not an act of fear. it is - it always has been and it always, always will be - an act of love. ~ Anonymous
Truth Telling quotes by Anonymous
I seem most instinctively to believe in the human value of creative writing, whether in the form of verse or fiction, as a mode of truth-telling, self-expression and homage to the twin miracles of creation and consciousness. ~ John Updike
Truth Telling quotes by John Updike
Telling a lie causes more centres of the brain to light up than telling the truth. Telling a lie implies that you know the truth but are thinking of the lie and its myriad consequences, which requires more energy than telling the truth. ~ Michio Kaku
Truth Telling quotes by Michio Kaku
And whose fault was it that the boy swallowed down lies, when no one would feed him the truth? ~ Lois McMaster Bujold
Truth Telling quotes by Lois McMaster Bujold
The Truth Is That I Was Recognized For Stubbornness And Not Goodness. Even, Though I Was Very Intelligent And Sent To School By A Little Few Supports From Sponsors And My Mother. My Brain Was Never Ever Cool. Due To All The Mistakes I Saw From A Very Tender Age From All Those Whom I Looked Upon As Elders And Shinning Examples. Although They Where Some Good Examples Which Still Live On. Still The Early Damaged As Already Been Done. So It Led Me Dropping Out Of School In To Working And Using The Great Ancient Vedic Philosophies I Have Been Hearing From The Very Beginning Of My Conception In My Mother Womb Till The Day I Was Born And Forever. I Used Them All To Materialize Many Of My Dreams And Practice Mysticism Coupled With Spiritualism To Keep My Self Secured And Keep Cool Depending On God. ~ Baba Tunde Ojo-Olubiyo
Truth Telling quotes by Baba Tunde Ojo-Olubiyo
We must speak truth to power and confront ignorance with facts. ~ DaShanne Stokes
Truth Telling quotes by DaShanne Stokes
Songwriters tell the truth. ~ Kara DioGuardi
Truth Telling quotes by Kara DioGuardi
I have wondered that even in the era of colour the black and white photographs are so appealing? I feel that as per saying - in black and white -they speak the truth. ~ Amit Abraham
Truth Telling quotes by Amit Abraham
Strange that in the day of tumult, it should be something so innocuous as a dribble of water that prompts a person to tears. ~ Kate Morton
Truth Telling quotes by Kate Morton
No' is golden. 'No' is the kind of power the good witch wields. It's the way whole, healthy, emotionally evolved people manage to have relationships with jackasses while limiting the amount of jackass in their lives. ~ Cheryl Strayed
Truth Telling quotes by Cheryl Strayed
When I've been in my dramatic states, friends who look beyond my spiraling downward are quick (and kind) to remind me of what is good in my life. They tell me the truth. This world is not all about me, nor am I just about to slip off the precipice of sadness. They help me see the blessings in the mess, the beauty underlying the mayhem. And when I have a dramatic friend, I can also offer this same perspective. ~ Mary E. DeMuth
Truth Telling quotes by Mary E. DeMuth
It was a lie but he believed in telling lies to people. Truth telling and medicine just didn't go together except in dire emergencies, if then. ~ Mario Puzo
Truth Telling quotes by Mario Puzo
Even bitches can get a break in life. ~ Suzanne Wright
Truth Telling quotes by Suzanne Wright
Their fate rested entirely on me. I could save them by telling the truth. I could destroy them by lying. No one should have that much power. ~ Neal Shusterman
Truth Telling quotes by Neal Shusterman
In a world starving for validity, the truth, when spoken at the right moment, can be one of the purest and most helpful forms of charity. ~ Lamine Pearlheart
Truth Telling quotes by Lamine Pearlheart
How our story has been divided up among the truth-telling professions! Religion, philosophy, history, poetry, compete with each other for our ears; and science competes with all together. And for each we have a different set of ears. But, though we hear much, what we are told is as nothing: none of it gives us ourselves, rather each story-kind steals us to make its reality of us. ~ Laura Riding
Truth Telling quotes by Laura Riding
Beautiful spirit and an evil heart don't match. ~ Germany Kent
Truth Telling quotes by Germany Kent
What is worse than doing evil, is being evil" (Ethics, p.67). To lie is wrong, but what is worse than the lie is the liar, for the liar contaminates everything he says, because everything he says is meant to further a cause that is false. The liar as liar has endorsed a world of falsehood and deception, and to focus only on the truth or falsity of his particular statements is to miss the danger of being caught up in his twisted world. This is why, as Bonhoeffer says, that "(i)t is worse for a liar to tell the truth than for a lover of truth to lie" (Ethics, p.67). ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Truth Telling quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
fiction is the great lie that tells the truth ~ Dorothy Allison
Truth Telling quotes by Dorothy Allison
This is the problem,' she says.
'With us?'
'With everything. No one's saying what they want. ~ Cath Crowley
Truth Telling quotes by Cath Crowley
He had come to life for maybe a minute to try to tell us something, something none of us cared to listen to or tried to understand, and the effort had drained him dry. ~ Ken Kesey
Truth Telling quotes by Ken Kesey
An unbelieved truth can hurt a man much more than a lie. It takes great courage to back truth unacceptable to our times. There's a punishment for it, and it's usually crucifixion. ~ John Steinbeck
Truth Telling quotes by John Steinbeck
Women have been driven mad, "gaslighted," for centuries by the refutation of our experience and our instincts in a culture which validates only male experience. The truth of our bodies and our minds has been mystified to us. We therefore have a primary obligation to each other: not to undermine each others' sense of reality for the sake of expediency; not to gaslight each other.
Women have often felt insane when cleaving to the truth of our experience. Our future depends on the sanity of each of us, and we have a profound stake, beyond the personal, in the project of describing our reality as candidly and fully as we can to each other. ~ Adrienne Rich
Truth Telling quotes by Adrienne Rich
Freedom of the press can never be the licence to say anything one desires. Freedom of the press is not the freedom to slander and attack and must never be used to fight other people's wars. It does not mean manipulating a story into speaking your views. One might think it common sense but in the world of journalism a lot of what makes sense is lost to the lure of favouritism, greed and fame. Sadly, in this truth-telling business truth is hard to find. ~ Aysha Taryam
Truth Telling quotes by Aysha Taryam
Once you reject fear, you will become the perfect candidate to receive and reflect Truth. ~ Suzy Kassem
Truth Telling quotes by Suzy Kassem
Poetry is a political act because it involves telling the truth. ~ June Jordan
Truth Telling quotes by June Jordan
Truth is like beauty; it lies in the mind of the beholder ~ Bangambiki Habyarimana
Truth Telling quotes by Bangambiki Habyarimana
I should have seen his weaknesses and only given him a section of myself but I loved him to my core, no matter who he was. There were no hidden places in my heart that would not welcome him or any sacred ground inside my being that he could not walk upon. ~ Vera Jane Cook
Truth Telling quotes by Vera Jane Cook
Tell the truth, but lead so improbable a life that the truth will never be believed. ~ Aleister Crowley
Truth Telling quotes by Aleister Crowley
In this world, you are very much like a water hose in the garden. Love flows through you, just as water runs through this hose. Love comes from God, just as water comes from the well. The water doesn't depend on the hose, just as God doesn't depend on you. But the water needs the hose to pour on the garden, and the flowers need the water. God needs you to pour his love in the world, and people need his love. ~ Dragos Bratasanu
Truth Telling quotes by Dragos Bratasanu
But I have told the truth. Isn't that ironic? They sent me because I am so good at telling lies. But I have told the truth. ~ Elizabeth Wein
Truth Telling quotes by Elizabeth Wein
Life lives on life. This is the sense of the symbol of the Ouroboros, the serpent biting its tail. Everything that lives lives on the death of something else. Your own body will be food for something else. Anyone who denies this, anyone who holds back, is out of order. Death is an act of giving. ~ Joseph Campbell
Truth Telling quotes by Joseph Campbell
Not everything needed to be brought into the light, he knew. Not every truth needed to be told. ~ Louise Penny
Truth Telling quotes by Louise Penny
Truth telling is an investment we must make in relationships - whether personal or professional. It takes a lot of time and thought, and sometimes, courage. However, there is probably not another investment of time that pays a greater dividend when done well. ~ Dee Ann Turner
Truth Telling quotes by Dee Ann Turner
It is only the cynic who claims "to speak the truth" at all times and in all places to all men in the same way, but who, in fact, displays nothing but a lifeless image of the truth ... He dons the halo of the fanatical devotee of truth who can make no allowance for human weaknesses; but, in fact, he is destroying the living truth between men. He wounds shame, desecrates mystery, breaks confidence, betrays the community in which he lives, and laughs arrogantly at the devastation he has wrought and at the human weakness which "cannot bear the truth. ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Truth Telling quotes by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The problem you and I have, as Wrong Planet people, is not so much that we mean everything we say, but we expect that everyone else does to. ~ Karl Wiggins
Truth Telling quotes by Karl Wiggins
You should be proud of the pleasure you give to others' eyes. ~ BadSquirrel
Truth Telling quotes by BadSquirrel
Autobiography is an unrivaled vehicle for telling the truth about other people. ~ Philip Guedalla
Truth Telling quotes by Philip Guedalla
No one believes a liar. Even when she's telling the truth. ~ Sara Shepard
Truth Telling quotes by Sara Shepard
To tell the truth is revolutionary. ~ Antonio Gramsci
Truth Telling quotes by Antonio Gramsci
Be honest. This applies to every area of your life. Sketchiness is not an attractive trait. No more trying to cover up your baggage, sweeping things under the rug, withholding truth, blatant lying, or even telling seemingly 'harmless' white lies or half-truths – release the need to lie completely! Start NOW. ~ Alaric Hutchinson
Truth Telling quotes by Alaric Hutchinson
Do What?'
'Lie,' he said. 'Why do you fabricate these outlandish stories?'
'Well,' I wanted to say, 'there are those of us who create because all around us, things visible and invisible are crumbling. We are like the stonemasons of Babylon, forever working, as it says in Jeremiah, to shore up the city of walls.'
I didn't say that, of course. What I did say was: 'I don't know. ~ Alan Bradley
Truth Telling quotes by Alan Bradley
Here's a good test to know whether or not truth-telling springs from love. Truth will not only pain those who hear it; it will pain those who speak it. If we don't love someone, it won't hurt at all to speak truth. We'll tell them what we think with no regard for their feelings. If ~ Philip Gulley
Truth Telling quotes by Philip Gulley
Truth-telling may be an ethic, adopted by photojournalists as a behavior, but experience shows us that it is not embedded in the medium like silver salts in film. ~ Andy Grundberg
Truth Telling quotes by Andy Grundberg
Contrary to popular opinion, Christians are not nice polite people who never get angry with one another. Those are not the virtues of God's people. Our virtues are truth-telling, kindness, forgiveness and yes, even anger-as long as it is the anger that is part of true love-through which we move closer to one another and to the God who has shown us how it is done. ~ Barbara Brown Taylor
Truth Telling quotes by Barbara Brown Taylor
Honesty is more than not lying. It is truth telling, truth speaking, truth living, and truth loving. ~ James E. Faust
Truth Telling quotes by James E. Faust
The great advantage about telling the truth is that nobody ever believes it. ~ Dorothy L. Sayers
Truth Telling quotes by Dorothy L. Sayers
And came to her a realization that the largest humiliation for the person was a lie. And the viler the one to whom you lie, the greater is the humiliation. ~ Osyp Nazaruk
Truth Telling quotes by Osyp Nazaruk
When men and women punish each other for truth telling, we reinforce the notion that lies are better. ~ Bell Hooks
Truth Telling quotes by Bell Hooks
I don't tell the truth, I tell what ought to be the truth. ~ Cate Blanchett
Truth Telling quotes by Cate Blanchett
I have risked everything to tell the truth. Tell the truth ~ Maya Angelou
Truth Telling quotes by Maya Angelou
It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes. But a half-wit remains a half-wit, and the emperor remains an emperor. ~ Neil Gaiman
Truth Telling quotes by Neil Gaiman
The truth never set me free. ~ Paramore
Truth Telling quotes by Paramore
