About This Quote

Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom. Honesty is not simply telling the truth, but also is about doing things and admitting when you made a mess of it. When we make mistakes we need to admit them and learn from it. We don’t want to pretend we did nothing wrong and carry on like nothing happened.
