"The best measure of a man's honesty isn't his income tax return. It's the zero adjust on his bathroom scale." ~ Arthur C. Clarke

Do you suppose that is the same for women??

My scale is digital so I guess I have no choice but to be honest.

Ok, on a serious note, here is one to think about:

"Our lives improve only when we take chances - and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves." ~ Walter Anderson

That can be a hard pill to swallow for some people. It's not easy seeing our flaws or admitting defeat or admitting fault. We are very proud people by nature.

Wow. Good quote!

As always, great quotes! I don't have a bathroom scale though!

As for being honest with ourselves - that really makes me think of the people I know who are not honest with OTHERS about themselves. People who try to build themselves up to others - lying about WHO they are. If you aren't honest about who you are when you present yourself to others, then everything you do is a lie.
