Eight great reasons to tell the truth

Barbara a lewis

1. Telling the truth lets everyone know what really happened.there's less chance of misunderstanding,confusion,or conflict.
2. Telling the truth protects innocent people from being blamed or punished.
3. Telling truth allows everyone to learn from what happened.
4. You usually get into less trouble for telling the truth other than for lying (and getting caught).
5. Other people trust you more when you tell the truth.
6. You don't have to tell (and remember)more lies to keep your story straight.
7. You gain a reputation for being truthful-a trait most people value
8. Telling the truth helps you to feel secure and peaceful inside

I agree with these statements because in my opinion these statements are very true there is absolutely no lie in these and they follow a great code of being honest.these reasons make you want to tell the truth always and they give you the exact consequences that you will face if you didn't tell the truth.i agree with these statements because many dont undeerstand the detrimental consequences that may happen with not telloing the truth.in my opinion it is best to completely honest and truthful so it dosent affect you in the long run and so it dosent make you lok bad or give you the bad reputation.

“The most important thing you will ever have is good values”

When i think about the meaning to this quote i think of having nothing and still knowing wrong from right when you are in your teen years you think that a outfit will be so important but in reality it's the good values that matter. In my opinion they matter the most because no matter what happens if you have your manners and are a well respected person you will get the respect that you deserve.this pretty much says that having good manners mean something because it's the most important thing.good values may be hard to notice or to tech but in the long run help and benefit you and the people around.good values also end up becoming something that people pay very little attention to.good values show and will sometimes make you different from others.someone with good values would normally be the person that is more respected and fun to be around with

“I've been asked what i mean by word of honor’.i will tell you:place me behind prison walls-walls of stone ever so high ,ever so thick reaching ever so far into the ground-there is a possibility that in some way or another i might be able to escape;but stand on me on the floor and draw a chalk; line around me and have me give my word of honor never to cross it.can i get out of that circle?no never!i’d die first.”-Karl g maeserI think this mean that if something happens you have to pretty much stick to it .you cant change your mind and decide something else is going to happen instead.you have to pretty much know and understand that you committed to that and that is your promise and its something that you as a good person are going to have to keep.its something you have to do.

“a promise must never be broken.”-alexander hamilton

I agree because a promise that is broken can mess up a lot of things such as friendship trust and honesty rules.when someone breaks a promise the other person may seem to get angry or to even feel as if they can't be trusted anymore.no one likes to feel as if they cant trust the peron that hey thought that thy would be able to trust for ever.in my opinion if a promise is broken iit makes people slowly begin to seerate.an exsmple of a promise would be two friends telling eachother a secret nd thy say not to say it to anyone and the other friend goes and tells everyonr that is a promise being broken.eventually the friend will find out and get mad and the only way that that situation could have been prevented would have been if the friend would have kept the promise.its best to just keep a promise and dont break it beuse a promise can change a many things in the blink of an eye.

“I am not bound to win but i am bound to be true”-Abraham Lincoln

I think this quote pretty much just talks about trustworthiness.this pretty much says that thru it all as long as you have trust it's better than winning. It's better to know that instead of winning and being accused of cheating ,you lost but they know that you told the truth and that you were true to yourself as a good person.you as a person know when you are going to lie and when you will say the truth therefore you know and can make it happen to always tell the truth but the one thing that you can not control in my eyes is that you really never know when you will either win or lose in things. So you never will really know if you are bound to win you will probably only know when you are bound to tell the truth.this quote shows a lot of character in a person because it tells you that you as a person will always know to tell the truth .an example would be playing a game,lf you know that you will try your best and tell the truth and not cheat you are bound to be true but if you plan on cheating then in that case you know that you will be bound win. And winning should be the one thing that you don't know will happen.

“I won't cheat” dale Murphy

I believe that this is a very good statement because if you really believe that you are a good person there should be no cheating with no exceptions. To be good is on you and you honestly need to already know that as a person. No one should have to tell you or remind you not to cheat. Although not winning may hurt it's much more easier to deal with rather than having the bad memory of cheating in your head. Its best to be a real good person which will have plenty of wins and losses in life and will not have to cheat. No one really likes cheaters because then usually have more than one other bad character trait.no one likes cheaters therefore be 110 persent honest always.
