In neglecting our intense emotions, we are false to ourselves and lose a wonderful opportunity to know God. We forget that change comes through brutal honesty and vulnerability before God.

Whatever games are played with us, we must play no games with ourselves, but deal in our privacy with the last honesty and truth.

Confess the truth until it moves from head to heart.

There is nothing in this world so hard to get at as truth, and there is nothing in this world but truth that I care for.

See that the mind is honest, first; the rest may follow or not as God wills. [That] the fundamental treason to the mind ... is the one fundamental treason which the scholar's mind must not allow is the bond uniting all the Oxford people in the last resort.

Sincerity carries the soul in all simplicity to open its heart to God.

We must, by God's grace, embody the vision. If not, we are duplicitous.

Let us be real, honest, and sincere in our Christianity. We cannot deceive an all-seeing God.

Sometimes the truth hurts. And sometimes it feels real good.

It's a beautiful way to put it: Leave the poetry in what you make. When something becomes too polished, it loses its soul. It seems robotic. So talk like you really talk. Reveal things that others are unwilling to discuss. Be upfront about your shortcomings. Show the latest version of what you're working on, even if you're not done yet. It's OK if it's not perfect. You might not seem as professional, but you will seem a lot more genuine.

You cannot heal what you do not first acknowledge.

Integrity largely has to do with purifying our intentions and a growing honesty about our actual motives.
