Honesty can be hard to swallow.





"Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure that there is one rascal less in the world."

- Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881)


Be an honest man first, before you lament about a lack of honesty in this world.

"We swallow greedily any lie that flatters us, but we sip little by little at a truth we find bitter."

- Denis Diderot (1713-84), French philosopher, writer



Lie is sweet where truth is bitter. Even when we realize, we still tend to go for the sweet than the bitter.
