“No one may abuse the truth with impunity.”
― Earnie Larsen, Believing In Myself: Daily Meditations for Healing and Building Self-Esteem

“Myself

I have to live with myself and so
I want to be fit for myself to know.
I want to be able as days go by,
always to look myself straight in the eye;
I don't want to stand with the setting sun
and hate myself for the things I've done.
I don't want to keep on a closet shelf
a lot of secrets about myself
and fool myself as I come and go
into thinking no one will ever know
the kind of person I really am,
I don't want to dress myself up in sham.
I want to go out with my head erect
I want to deserve all men's respect;
but here in the struggle for fame and pelf
I want to be able to like myself.
I don't want to look at myself and know
I'm bluster and bluff and empty show.
I never can hide myself from me;
I see what others may never see;
I know what others may never know,
I never can fool myself and so,
whatever happens I want to be
self respecting and conscience free.”
― Edgar A. Guest

“From the cowardice that cares not face new truths, from the laziness that is content with half-,truths, from the arrogance that thinks it knows all truths - good lord, deliver me.”
― Kenyan Prayer
