Great Quotes about Truth and Honesty!
I certainly enjoy a good "saying' or "quote" that has some deeper meaning to it, and i thought i will share some of my favourite quotes relating to the truth and honesty. By always being truthful, honest and open with people you deal with both on and offline, you will not just gain that persons trust, but you might gain a friend for life.
- If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything. - Mark Twain
- Who lies for you will lie against you. - Bosnian Proverb
- No man has a good enough memory to make a successful liar. - Abraham Lincoln
- A half truth is a whole lie. - Yiddish Proverb
- The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold. - Aristotle
- The hardest tumble a man can make is to fall over his own bluff. - Ambrose Bierce
- A lie has speed, but truth has endurance. - Edgar J. Mohn
- We tell lies when we are afraid... afraid of what we don't know, afraid of what others will think, afraid of what will be found out about us. But every time we tell a lie, the thing that we fear grows stronger. - Tad Williams
- Respect for the truth is an acquired taste. - Mark Van Doren
- A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to put its pants on. - Winston Churchill
- Beware of the half truth. You may have gotten hold of the wrong half. - Author Unknown
- Honesty pays, but it don't seem to pay enough to suit some people. - Frank McKinney
- Some people will not tolerate such emotional honesty in communication. They would rather defend their dishonesty on the grounds that it might hurt others. Therefore, having rationalized their phoniness into nobility, they settle for superficial relationships. - Author Unknown
- Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. - William Shakespeare
- A loyal friend laughs at your jokes when they're not so good, and sympathizes with your problems when they're not so bad. - Arnold H. Glasgow
These are just some of my favourite "Quotes", i am addicted to great quotes, and have collected thousands over the years.
Hope you enjoy these.

Thanks, Dawie. That's very nice of you.
I was wondering if it worked to post a link in a comment on one of our own blogs, cause I had seen a link that was hidden in a blog by someone in his own blog. I guess I didn't see it correctly.

There are a lot of great quotes that come from our members too. We used to have a list of them in a group that is now defunct. I also find a lot of great quote through TV and movies etc. You just have to keep your eyes open. One of my favorites because it is so deep:
"There is no try, do or do not" Master Yoda from "Star Wars"

I would love to see if there is any group that fits, Dawie, but the problem is, since the 2.0 groups, I haven't been able to join groups, even though I'm part of only 19 groups. They say when Wincer purges the old groups not reactivated, the problem will be solved. I can't wait, cause there are at least 3 groups I would joinfright now.

Maybe we could put these in a group. I would love it if Partners could create more groups, something like 10, I would create a group for that kind of info.

I love quotes too. I guess that many serious IM people love quotes. There's a group at IMfaceplate where it's asked to post quotes we love, and it's one of the most popular groups, if not THE most popular.
Yesterday, I was looking for a quote by C.S. Lewis, couldn't find the one I was seeking, he has so many. :)
tweeted, FBed, bookmarked.
