Your strength will be found when you stop struggling with yourself, instead of thinking everyone is a struggle worth overcoming. Every obstacle in life is a lesson that teaches us, not others.

Shannon L. Alder

Skyla Madi

That truth should be silent I had almost forgot. (Enobarbus)

The beauty of truth is that it need not be proclaimed or believed. It skips from soul to soul, changing form each time it touches, but it is what it is, I have seen it, and someday you will, too.

It is so difficult - at least, I find it difficult - to understand people who speak the truth.

E.M. Forster

Start telling the truth now and never stop. Begin by telling the truth to yourself about yourself. Then tell the truth to yourself about someone else. Then tell the truth about yourself to another. Then tell the truth about another to that other. Finally, tell the truth to everyone about everything. These are the 5 levels of truth telling. This is the five-fold path to freedom.

Neale Donald Walsch

The truth brings no man a fortune.

Tara Kelly

If humor and rumor are needed more than faith and truth, then it tells me something about the kind of world we live today.

Toba Beta

A handwritten letter carries a lot of risk. It's a one-sided conversation that reveals the truth of the writer. Furthermore, the writer is not there to see the reaction of the person he writes to, so there's a great unknown to the process that requires a leap of faith. The writer has to choose the right words to express his sentences, and then, once he has sealed the envelope, he has to place those thoughts in the hands of someone else, trusting that the feelings will be delivered, and that the recipient will understand the writer's intent. How childish to think that could be easy.

Adriana Trigiani

Philippa Gregory

To realize the truth, you have to cross the boundaries of all religions and prophets.

Amit Ray

Eyes shows lies.

Toba Beta

Nothing in this world is hidden forever. The gold which has lain for centuries unsuspected in the ground, reveals itself one day on the surface. Sand turns traitor, and betrays the footstep that has passed over it; water gives back to the tell-tale surface the body that has been drowned. Fire itself leaves the confession, in ashes, of the substance consumed in it. Hate breaks its prison-secrecy in the thoughts, through the doorway of the eyes; and Love finds the Judas who betrays it by a kiss. Look where we will, the inevitable law of revelation is one of the laws of nature: the lasting preservation of a secret is a miracle which the world has never yet seen.

Wilkie Collins

If my work has a theme, I suspect it is a simple one: that most human beings are inescapably alone, and therein lies their tragedy.

Richard Yates

Your words will either give you joy or give you sorrow, but if they were spoken without regret, they give you peace.

Shannon L. Alder

A little truth seasons a lie like salt.

Jacqueline Carey

What a sad story, I thought for so long. Not that I now think it was happy. But I think it is true, and thus the question of whether it is sad or happy has no meaning whatever.

Bernhard Schlink

He who has truth at his heart need never fear the want of persuasion on his tongue.

John Ruskin

No boundary or barrier surrounds the heart of a person that loves their self and others.

Shannon L. Alder

Why do relationships have to be so complicated?

Erin Hunter

A person can go along quite awhile if they get a good day every once and again.

Stephen King

The greatest enemy to fear is truth.

Steve Maraboli

The stories people tell you about themselves seem to retain the possibility of being false. But what you discover about them by yourself seems to be the truth.

John Verdon

When ill luck begins, it does not come in sprinkles, but in showers.

Mark Twain

We learn to make a shell for ourselves when we are young and then spend the rest of our lives hoping for someone to reach inside and touch us. Just touch us—anything more than that would be too much for us to bear.

Bill Russell

They were all fitting into place, the jig-saw pieces. The odd strained shapes that I had tried to piece together with my fumbling fingers and they had never fitted. Frank's odd manner when I spoke about Rebecca. Beatrice and her rather diffident negative attitude. The silence that I had always taken for sympathy and regret was a silence born of shame and embarrassment. It seemed incredible to me now that I had never understood. I wondered how many people there were in the world who suffered, and continued to suffer, because they could not break out from their own web of shyness and reserve, and in their blindness and folly built up a great wall in front of them that hid the truth. This was what I had done. I had built up false pictures in my mind and sat before them. I had never had the courage to demand the truth. Had I made one step forward out of my own shyness Maxim would have told these things four months, five months ago.

Daphne du Maurier

There are two paths of which one may choose in the walk of life; one we are born with, and the one we consciously blaze. One is naturally true, while the other is a perceptive illusion. Choose wisely at each fork in the road.

T.F. Hodge

See now the power of truth; the same experiment which at first glance seemed to show one thing, when more carefully examined, assures us of the contrary.

Galileo Galilei

The topic of compassion is not at all religious business; it is important to know it is human business, it is a question of human survival.

Dalai Lama XIV

I think most are too afraid to see the truth.

Morgan Rhodes

She had the best kind of courage, or maybe the worst kind, the kind that gets you into trouble.

Alistair MacLean

When you have money in hand,only you forget who are you .But when you do not have any money in your hand,the whole world forget who you are.It's life.

Bill Gates

So this is where all the vapid talk about the 'soul' of the universe is actually headed. Once the hard-won principles of reason and science have been discredited, the world will not pass into the hands of credulous herbivores who keep crystals by their sides and swoon over the poems of Khalil Gibran. The 'vacuum' will be invaded instead by determined fundamentalists of every stripe who already know the truth by means of revelation and who actually seek real and serious power in the here and now. One thinks of the painstaking, cloud-dispelling labor of British scientists from Isaac Newton to Joseph Priestley to Charles Darwin to Ernest Rutherford to Alan Turing and Francis Crick, much of it built upon the shoulders of Galileo and Copernicus, only to see it casually slandered by a moral and intellectual weakling from the usurping House of Hanover. An awful embarrassment awaits the British if they do not declare for a republic based on verifiable laws and principles, both political and scientific.

Christopher Hitchens

Could it have been anyone, or was it destiny? When I'm considering this I find it helpful to quote the wisdom of my father, who once told me, "Who knows why the fuck anything happens?

Ben Aaronovitch

A woman who surrenders her freedom need not surrender her dignity.

Wally Lamb

Purity of heart is what enables us to see.

Pope Benedict XVI

He drew the dagger and laid it on the table between them; a length of dragonbone and Valyrian steel, as sharp as the difference between right and wrong, between true and false, between life and death.

George R.R. Martin

Fanatics can justify practically any atrocity to themselves. The more untenable their position becomes, the harder they hold to it, and the worse the things they are willing to do to support it.

Mercedes Lackey

It is error alone which needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself.

Thomas Jefferson

What the world stigmatizes as romantic is often more nearly allied to the truth than is commonly supposed.

Anne Brontë

Faith is believing in something you know isn't true.

Tom Robbins

Man is a demon, man is a god. Both true.

Elizabeth Gilbert

She realized all at once that Doon, thin, dark eyed Doon, with his troublesome temper and his terrible brown jacket, and his good heart---- was the person she knew better than anyone now. He was her best friend.--City of Ember--

Jeanne DuPrau

In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, liberty; in all things, charity.

Rupertus Meldenius

Proper lighting is everything, Julianna.

Wendelin Van Draanen

The problem when you are a strong, capable, self-confident person, is that more often than not, people think that you don't really need things like comfort, reassurance, loyalty and guidance. People are more likely to look at you and say, "She doesn't need this", "She doesn't need that", "She's already all of this and all of that". But then the truth is that most probably, you are a strong, capable, self-confident person because you built yourself brick-by-brick into that person; because you HAD to BECOME that person; because you had determination enough to make yourself into the image that you knew you needed to become. At the heart of many strong, confident people, is a heart most longing of the things that most others simply take for granted.

C. JoyBell C.

She gave up trying to understand herself, and the vast armies of the benighted, who follow neither the heart nor the brain, and march to their destiny by catch-words. The armies are full of pleasant and pious folk. But they have yielded to the only enemy that matters — the enemy within. They have sinned against passion and truth, and vain will be their strife after virtue. As the years pass, they are censured. Their pleasantry and their piety show cracks, their wit becomes cynicism, their unselfishness hypocrisy; they feel and produce discomfort wherever they go.

E.M. Forster

I do maintain that if your hair is wrong, your entire life is wrong.

Morrissey

Truth can only be seen by those with truth in them.

Suzy Kassem

If you are unable to find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?

Dōgen

We have no right to express an opinion until we know all of the answers.
