The truth that makes men free is the truth they are blind to - the truth that men wish to hear is the truth they want to hear. Your heart and conscience are the arbiters of truth.

The truth is that almost everything that happens to us, every circumstance we find ourselves in is our own fault and is the result of choices we've made in our lives. That's not a message I like to hear, but it's a message I need to hear.

In the past 2-3 years, I reached the conclusions that no one can seek the truth on any subject until they doubt that they have it. In fact, it is impossible to seek the truth when you believe that you already have it and this is one of the world's greatest problems. Another great problem is th zeal with which too many defend their deception.
 -- Dave Wilber, St. Louis
 
Telling the truth is hard when you have something to lose should it become known.
 -- E Archer, NYC
 
The truth that makes men free is the truth that is denied them by those that profit from keeping them under tyranny.
 -- warren, olathe
 
A friend of mine added the following, "..or to tell.." when we were discussing "how much truth to give to someone"...
 -- Linda, Chicago, IL
 
The shackles that bind us are the lies we tell ourselves and our actions that reflect not who we are, but what we want other people to think we are.
 -- Jim, Quincy, CA
