INTEGRITY

Wisdom is knowing what to do next; virtue is doing it.
 ~David Star Jordan


Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught.
~J.C. Watts


There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience.
~French Proverb


One does evil enough when one does nothing good. ~German Proverb

LIES

God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. Take which you please - you can never have both. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson


Sometimes the lies you tell are less frightening than the lonliness you might feel if you stopped telling them.
~ Brock Clarke


Lying increases the creative faculties, expands the ego, and lessens the friction of social contacts.
 ~ Clare Boothe Luce


Repetition does not transform a lie into truth. ~F.D.Roosevelt

INTERNET

I have an almost religious zeal - not for technology per se, but for the internet which is for me, the nervous system of mother Earth, which I see as a living creature, linking up. ~Dan Millman


We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true. ~Robert Wilensky, 1996


The Internet is a giant international network of intelligent, informed computer enthusiasts, by which I mean, "people without lives." We don't care. We have each other. ~Dave Barry


Millions of people around the world take what they learn/read on the internet at face value. Where we (most of us) know it is a world of half-baked truths, masks, and deception. A Mardi Gras at your fingertips!
~ Joni Zipp

TRUTH

God offers to every mind its choice between truth and repose. Take which you please - you can never have both. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson


I never dreamed of being Shakespeare or Goethe, and I never expected to hold the great mirror of truth up before the world; I dreamed only of being a little pocket mirror, the sort that a woman can carry in her purse; one that reflects small blemishes, and some great beauties, when held close enough to the heart. ~Peter Altenberg


If there be no God, then what is truth but the average of all lies. ~Robert Brault


Lies are someone’s truth; and you believe them! ~ Joni Zipp
