My guiding principles in life are to be honest, genuine, thoughtful and caring.

If you do not tell the truth about yourself you cannot tell it about other people.

Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.

There is no greatness where there is no simplicity, goodness and truth.

Fear is not in the habit of speaking truth when perfect sincerity is expected, perfect freedom must be allowed nor has anyone who is apt to be angry when he hears the truth any cause to wonder that he does not hear it.
