The three-year-old who lies about taking a cookie isn't really a liar after all. He simply can't control his impulses. He then convinces himself of a new truth and eager for your approval reports the version that he knows will make you happy.
I cringe at backstory. Because it never quite explains or gets into some psychological thing that is never quite right and never quite the truth and who knows why someone is some way.
I believe that ignorance is the root of all evil. And that no one knows the truth.
He who does not bellow the truth when he knows the truth makes himself the accomplice of liars and forgers.
Everyone who knows me will know the truth which is that my children come first in my life and that I would never harm any child.
For Africa to me... is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place.
Espionage for the most part involves finding a person who knows something or has something that you can induce them secretly to give to you. That almost always involves a betrayal of trust.
I came all this way for a reason. Today is the day of salvation. Trust Jesus to save you. Then be sincere as God knows a pretender.
We believe that what we possess we don't ultimately own. God is merely entrusting it to us. And one of the conditions of that trust is that we share what we have with those who have less. So if you don't give to people in need you can hardly call yourself a Jew. Even the most unbelieving Jew knows that.
There are those who travel and those who are going somewhere. They are different and yet they are the same. The success has this over his rivals: He knows where he is going.
Now I'm fighting cancer everybody knows that. People ask me all the time about how you go through your life and how's your day and nothing is changed for me.
A wise man will make haste to forgive because he knows the true value of time and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain.
I see it as more of a teenage activity than you know she's only 11 but you know I think it's great that she knows so many girls who want to play music. And I see it more as a teen activity than I do as going into music.
You can't stop technology or science and it is snowballing quicker than ever. Something's got to come to a head. How? Who knows? But it will.
New technology is useful but it's inefficient and ugly it knows it'll be obsolete by lunchtime tomorrow so it has no incentive to be anything else.
This technology will obviously become more prevalent. Who knows what will result? One thing is certain computer technology will revolutionize the way we tell stories as much as movie film has.
Who knows what technology will emerge in the next five years let alone 20. Yet the education we provide our children now is supposed to last for decades. We cannot train them for jobs that do not even exist yet but we can provide them with the minds and tools they'll need to adapt to our ever-changing set of circumstances.
The federal government... knows how to put a missile in someone's room half way around the world with technology. Why don't we use some of that technology to save some lives here in America?
I have run large organizations I know what it takes to create a healthy business climate and I have more experience than Jerry Brown doing that. So it'll be a stark contrast a career politician vs. someone who has met a payroll gotten a return on investment knows how to use technology to do more with less.
We all rely on technology to communicate to survive to do our banking to shop to get informed but none of us knows how to read and write the code.
There's something very beautiful and compelling about someone who has ambition and someone who knows what they want but it can get a little frustrating at times so I understand that. I have sympathy for that.
People who drink to drown their sorrow should be told that sorrow knows how to swim.
Luxury is the wolf at the door and its fangs are the vanities and conceits germinated by success. When an artist learns this he knows where the danger is.
Time is the most precious element of human existence. The successful person knows how to put energy into time and how to draw success from time.
