50 Honesty Quotes That Show The Value Of Truth And Sincerity

Honesty

They say that honesty is key but which door does it open? Most certainly, the door of trust. It's easier to trust honest people because you never know when a pathological liar is telling the truth.

When you tell the truth, you don't have to remember what you said. You can confidently repeat what you said even when someone wakes you up at 3 am to repeat it. Truth comes easier than lies.

Even when we know that honesty is the best policy, we lie sometimes. The lie doesn't have to be big like how you went to South Africa for a summer vacation. It can be a simple white lie like how a dress fits your best friend perfectly.

White lies seem harmless, and we tell them all the time. They are the little lies we tell to avoid hurting someone else's feelings. But would you rather be told that your new haircut looks good when it actually makes you look twice older, or would you prefer the truth?

Sometimes the truth hurts, but it doesn't have to be brutal. You can still be honest and kind about it. It may hurt someone, but at least you did it for their good.

Honesty always works out for the best because lies break someone's trust when they find out you have been lying to them. Once broken, trust is hard to rebuild. It can take years and a lot of effort from you for someone to learn to trust you again.

Be more truthful but kind about it. Some truths can break people, and they may even hate you for your honesty. However, it's better to live an honest life than to live a life carrying the burden of lies. These honesty quotes will inspire you to be more honest.

This feeling might be pain, poetry, or both. But at least it is no lie. Ignorance isn’t bliss. Ignorance is to miss: to block ourselves from seeing sky.

Hatsuharu Sohma: I hate your guts! It's the rat's fault everyone laughs at the cow! They call the cow a fool and an idiot! IT'S YOUR FAULT, YOU DIRTY MEAN STINKING RAT! Young Yuki: Well, is it true?

No, it is. But they don't allow my grandfather to be buried there. He was laid to rest far away. I know how it sounds, but honestly, I think it's better this way. He has a kind of freedom in death that he never had in his life. He's finally able to be "outside".

The kind who can't lie. And I feel so calm when I'm with him. Even if...he's not as good-looking as Hatori-san. Well I was always in love with him. But it was just one-sided. This is the first time I've been back to the Sohma house in a long time...I wonder if I'll get to see Hatori-san?

It made me feel low that I couldn’t praise him without reservation. But then if you lied to a man about his talent just because he was sitting across from you, that was the most unforgivable lie of them all, because that was telling him to go on, to continue which was the worst way for a man without real talent to waste his life, finally. But many people did just that, friends and relatives mostly.

Sophie looked warily at the demon’s thin blue face. It had a distinctly cunning look as it made this proposal. Everything she had read showed the extreme danger of making a bargain with a demon. And there was no doubt that this one did look extraordinarily evil. Those long purple teeth. ‘Are you sure you’re being quite honest?’ she said. ‘Not completely,’ admitted the demon. ‘But do you want to stay like that till you die? That spell has shortened your life by about sixty years, if I am any judge of such things.‘

‘But you should have told me where you were, love!’ Sophie knew she should have. She had taken Martha’s view of Fanny, whole and entire, when she should have known Fanny better. She was ashamed.

‘The only chance I had of coming at Prince Justin was to use that curse she’d put on me to get near her.’ ‘So you were going to rescue the Prince!’ Sophie shouted. ‘Why did you pretend to run away? To deceive the Witch?’ ‘Not likely!’ Howl yelled. ‘I’m a coward. Only way I can do something this frightening is to tell myself I’m not doing it!’ Oh dear! Sophie thought, looking round at the swirling grit. He’s being honest! And this is a wind. The last bit of the curse has come true!

Truth be told, things aren’t going as good for me as I led on to believe. The love of my life married some other dude, and my new girlfriend fed her p*ssy to the owner of the baseball team I just quit. I stole homeboy’s car, and now I’m probably a wanted fugitive.

If there wasn't struggle you would never grow. You would never become who you're meant to be. And let's be honest. It would also be... super boring both in movies and in life.
