About This Quote

The whole idea of honesty is something that must be learned. People have to learn to tell the truth, not just in their relationships with other people, but also to themselves. It’s easy to tell a lie when you’re stressed out, tired, or distracted because you don’t know what to say. But if you learn to tell the truth whenever you are around other people, they are less likely to call you on it. That way, you can be yourself without worrying that someone will steal your thunder.
