A spirit of candor and frankness, when wholly unaccompanied with coarseness, headmired in others, but he could not acquire it himself.
Anne Brontë
What we had actually demonstrated was our cowardice, but there is fellowship in that too.
Clifford Geertz
I'm not abnegation, I'm not dauntless, I am Divergent
Veronica Roth
Essentially there are two actions in life: Performance and excuses. Make a decision as to which he will accept from yourself.
Steven Brown
He is the kind of person I should expect to rescue one from a mad dog at any risk but then insist on a stoical indifference to the fright afterward." Jefferson Davis's future wife describing him at first meeting.
Shelby Foote
There is too wide a gap, for most of us, between what we say and what we mean. Between our words and our thoughts. The first thing the Prophet Isaiah said when he saw the living and exalted God was, “Woe is me, I am ruined. For I am a man of unclean lips and I live among a people of unclean lips” (Isaiah 6:5). Isaiah was one of the most godly men who ever walked the earth. But seeing God, he sees also, abrupt and stark and grief-making, his own duplicity. Then God does what only God can do: he sears his lips clean (Isaiah 6:6-7). And herein lies our hope: truly seeing God, we truly see ourselves, in all our woe-begotten duplicity; but crying out to God, we are truly and greatly helped.
Mark Buchanan
Being a fool for God was not merely alright but liberating.
Joy Davidman
It is easier to move from failure to success in from excuses to success.
JOHN C MAXWELL
I don't make people comfortable but that's what couches are for.
Donna Lynn Hope
Instead of fleeing God scrutiny, David welcomed it. It's like he was saying, "Look God, since I can't hide from you, since you know my very thoughts before I think them, I want you to fully know me. Be in the very core, the essence of my being. If you're going to know me, then know everything about me!
Will Davis Jr.
Straightforwardness intimidates people. They prefer the veneer, despite what they claim.
Donna Lynn Hope
The people who enlighten us are the ones who tell us their secrets.
Marty Rubin
Can I be trusted? Can you? I can be trusted with some things, but not all things, just like you.
Donna Lynn Hope
If we are not ashamed to think it, we should not be ashamed to say it.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Only strong women, and they seem to be rare, can handle a frank and direct woman who doesn't sweet-talk or need others to nerve her. You can identify the easily intimidated because they need a gaggle of like-minded clones to back them up when they feign offense, which is merely a guise for their insecurity.
Donna Lynn Hope
Small truths have greater power than big lies.
Matshona Dhliwayo
The more pleasure a universe can yield, other things being equal, the more beneficent and generous is its general nature; the more pains its constitution involves, the darker and more malign its total temper. To deny this would seem impossible, yet it is done daily; for there is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition; and candor and a sense of justice are, in such a case, the first things lost.
George Santayana
I wonder what became of you, your JohnnyRotten skin, no Emerald City eyes.You'd have been a beauty if you let inferiority steam your glasses with its candor, sans laughter.
Kristen Henderson
The reality of grief is far different from what others see from the outside. There is pain in this world that you can't be cheered out of. You don't need solutions. You don't need to move on from your grief. You need someone to see your grief, to acknowledge it. You need someone to hold your hands while you stand there in blinking horror, staring at the hole that was your life. Some things cannot be fixed. They can only be carried.
Megan Devine
Every loss is valid. And every loss is not the same. You can't flatten the landscape of grief and say that everything is equal. It isn't.
Megan Devine
True comfort in grief is in acknowledging the pain, not in trying to make it go away. Companionship, not correction, is the way forward.
Megan Devine
When you try to take someone's pain away from them, you don't make it better. You just tell them it's not OK to talk about their pain.
Megan Devine
Do not allow your inner doubts to keep you from achieving what you can do.
Lolly Daskal
When your intuition is strong, follow it.
Lolly Daskal
Intuition is a sense of knowing how to act decisively without needing to know why.
