not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something
could have materialized -- and never knowing.”

“Tell The Truth.
Most of your problems come from not telling the truth.
The lies you tell, even to spare other people's feelings, always come back to haunt you.
If you simply tell people what you mean you would be better off, a lot happier, not trapped in some awkward social situation. Others will know where they standand will be more honest with you.
They won't expect you to be what you're not. They won'tneed to test you to discover your intentions. You won't have to make excuses for not doing things you didn't want to do or explain why you prefer to do what like to do. They'll know.
Telling the truth and being your own person are closely linked. A strong person says what he or she means. A weak person lies to please others. A strong person lets the truth be other people's problem. A weak person holds the truth inside and complains about being treated unfairly.
What is telling the truth hurts other people's feelings? You're not supposed to tell people that they look fat, are stupid or ugly. That's just being rude.
Tell the truth avout what you feel, want, and like and mean what you say. If other's get hurt by your truth, they'll have to deal with it. Others may not like what you say, but they'll respect you for being honest and they'll survive better than if you lie to them.
If you lie to please people, they won't really believe you. They'll be suspicious and suffer with every inconsistency they find in your story. You'll be called on to update alibis and others will undermine you and try to trap you. People hate being lie to, because lying takes away their free choice and their ability to defend themselves.
Tell the truth. It only hurts once.
Lies hurt everyone all the time.”

“The Truth.
Live your life so that the truth is your friend.
The truth is the beginning of freedom.
The truth is freedom.
The truth is its own explanation.
One truth admits all others.
The truth is within you.
Don't fight it. Admitting the truth only hurts when it should.
It only takes one small truth to pierce your false illusions, and yet one truth can set your whole life straight.
The truth is the cure for confusion.
Only being loyal to truth will comfort you.
Being able to hear the truth is being able to understand the mysteries of your life and connect them.
People will only tell you the truth that you are able to hear. And so you can only have others' love if you can hear all of their truth.
If love is anything, love is the truth.
Where the truth is most easily expressed, stress is lowest.
Courage comes when you seek the truth.
Healing begins when you accept it.
Tell the truth so you're not in pain and can love the world again.”

“Everyone needs time for woolgathering, resting, for avoiding the sound of another human voice or just for paying attention to the counsel of one's inner thoughts and feelings. Everyone needs to remain in touch with the quiet parts of their thoughts that do not easily find their way into consciousness amid the noisy stresses of daily life.”

“The person who loves you, loves you because he or she loves you.
That’s it, No further explanations are needed. No explanations make sense of love anyway.
The love that is most powerful exists for itself, without reasons, conditions or excuses.”
