"Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon."

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

Reflection: What this quote means to me is something very simple, and it's been hear.. it's that the truth will set you free. When you're able to be an honest person, you won't be looked at with disgrace nor dishonor. Telling the truth will keep you out of trouble, or in some cases, it'll keep you out of more trouble. If someone was to make up a lie, you could catch it somehow, but if they kept making their liar even worse, then it's much easier to get the truth out of them. Lies will only lead you downhill. You must be wise and choose the correct path, choose the right.
