People who take the risk make a tremendous discovery: The more things you care about, and the more intensely you care, the more alive you are.

Sandra Cisneros -
Lying eats into the soul. If it becomes a habit it frays the edge of your spirit. Truth telling, although sometimes harder to do, strengthens your heart. It serves a person ill not to tell the truth.
