“Never Live A Lie, They Often Fill Your Head With Unwanted Guilt. Never Hide A Lie, What's Done In The Dark Always Comes To The Light. Never Tell A Lie, They Break Up Marriages, Relationships, Friendships & Families. But Most Importantly, Never Lie To Yourself. It Hurts You More Than It Hurts Others.”

Daniel Webster
